OMG! I’m having an amazing time in New York. I
have visited beautiful lakes and gorgeous mountains.
We then went to the south and road subway which
cuts right under the city! We went to Ellis island
today and learned all about how New York has such
a diverse population because about 25 million
immigrants entered United States from here. Wish
you were here!
POST CARD 1
After driving all night we have finally arrived in
Atlanta (33.7849 degrees North, 84.3900 degrees
West). It is hot here so hot some people call it
Hotlanta! Being from the North I find it so interesting
that almost everyone here speaks southern accent. It
is so much different from New England! Can’t wait
to see you again.
POST CARD 2
Hello there I am writing for you from fabulous Los
Angeles California. There are sooo many people
here. I made some research and find out that it is the
most populated place in United States. So many of
these people are not from California; they travelled
from all over the whole world to come here to to try
to be successful in entertainment industry. Los
Angeles lies south of San Francisco. Cool huh? Can’t
wait to go to the beach!
POST CARD 3
We are having an amazing time taking our road trip
to New England. Although there are six different
states, they are all connected by similar historical
background. Most of New England was founded by
British colonist. Since it is January and really cold
here, people tend to wear a lot of layers and even
their roofs are slanted so the snow falls off. The
region of New England is located east of New York
State. While we’re here, I think I’m going to go
skiing!
