My last day…

javiervaramontenegro — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 14:24:20 +0000

This day is a very sad day because I have got many friends here and I’m sure that this is the best experience I have even lived, and I’ll remember that for all my life.

I’m going to miss stay here too much, my family first of all, my friends, Milford, High School… Everything is so incredible that I can’t think of go back to Spain. I will try to do everything possible to return some day…

Thanks for all…

Here, Halloween is as important as “Nochebuena” and “Nochevieja” in Spain, all people decorate his houses with scarecrow, pumpkins, and all kinds of ornaments. They grab pumpkins, first they removed the top and cups inside with a knife and then give you the way they want, at the end put a candle inside and at night is so incredible. People spend so much money in his costumes and other things to have fun.

Hi!
