My Visit To Spain

Hello everyone! I just got back from my trip tp Spain! At first I was a little shy, but as I got more comfortable with the language I made lots of friends. Since I had friends they asked me to play soccer with them. They found out that I was really good , so they told me to be part of their soccer team.



Sometimes in Spain,they have parties in the town square. They call them Fiestas. One of the fiestas was they put jumpers for the kids. Another fiesta was a cannon that shot out foam so the kids could play in the foam. And a few nights there was musical bands that played for everyone. Then there was a parade of all the kids.



Sometimes when it's a really hot day, my cousin Lara invites me to go swimming and fishing with her at the lake. One time, I even caught a big bass. When I lifted it up from the fishing pole, the poor fish plopped on the soft and wet sand, and I had to take the hook out of its mouth! After that, I let the slimy big bass into the water.

Every summer in Spain, there are bullfights. They build a big arena in a wide space next to the school. When they are done building the arena, they wait until the day that they fight the bulls. When the day came, we went with my other cousin Paula. In the beginning, the first matador came out riding a beautiful horse. After the band plays the songs, the show begins. At first they let out one of the bulls. Then the matador comes out with his horse. The matador first circles the bull so it will get a little dizzy. Next the matador gets his spears. While he does that his assistants come out to distract the bull. When the matador comes back with the spears, his assistants go away. The matador circles the bull once more and "STRIKE". The matador hits the poor bull on its back. He keeps doing the same thing over and over again, until the bull dies.
