June 1 - 7 In this week I traveled to South Africa, the sixth of june I left Honduras and I had to do a lot of connections. First I´d went to San Jose, Costa Rica that were only 55 minutes. Then from San Jose to Madrid, Spain I did 10 hours but we had to stay 13 hours in Madrid because we landed at 11 a.m. and our flight left until 1 a.m., fortunetly we had a family member living in Madrid so he took us to a tour over all the city, and all the tour we did it walking it was a very tired tour because we spend all those hours walking the whole city! When finally we got again to the airport we were so tired that we were only waiting the time to get to the plane and sleep, and last from Madrid to Johanesburg were nine and a half hour. It was a long and very tired trip but finally we land on South Africa and see the World Cup!!!

June 8 - 14 This week was a very excited week because the ten of July I went to the concert before the inauguration and in that concert we saw many artist like Shakira, Alicia Keys, John Legend, Juanes, Black Eyed Peas and many cultural artist of South Africa, all the music was great but that night was a very cold night. after the concert we went to the hotel and slept. The next day we went with my aunt and my cousin to the Soccer City Stadium to see the Inauguration match, where South Africa played against Mexico that was a very excited game and at half time I met Clarence Seedorf a ex player of the Netherlands team that now he is playing in th A.C Milan. Then we saw the second time of the game that ended 1-1. The next day we went to the match Argentina- Nigeria that in that game all the team of Honduras went, this match was in the Ellis Park Stadium in Johanesburg. this match ended 1- 0 that Argentina won. The next game that we saw was the 14 of june the match of Netherlands against Denmark that ended 2- 0 with a win of Netherlands in the Soccer City Stadium.

June 15- 21

This week, on the 16 I went to Nelspruit to see the game of Honduras- Chile, in the picture with the soccer ball at the back is in the airport. In that game Honduras lost 1- 0, the same day we return to Johanesburg. Then on the 17, we went to the match of Argentina-Korea Republic, that Argentina won 4- 1. The 18 we travel to Cape town, and that day we saw the match of England against Algeria that ended 0-0, that was a boring match because England did not played as how we thought they would play. The next day we took a tour on helicopter from all Cape town and saw the Cape Point, that is the picture that I am showing to you. In that tour we landed on an ostrich farm, and ate ostrich meat, it wasn´t so delicious, but I was able to finished eating it. That same night we went to The Wheel Of Cape Town, that you were able to see the lights all over the city. Going to the fifth most beautiful city in the world was a great expirience that I really enjoyed been there. The 20th we return to Johanesburg and went to the match of Brasil- Cote d´lvoire, that was a great match, because we had great seats that were inside a cabin in the Soccer city stadium. That was a great match for Brasil, but the team from Cote d´lvoire were being very violent, they even injured one player of brasil called Elano, and they also made the brasilian player Kaka get a red card. At the end Brasil ended winning 3- 0.

June 22- 28 This week I did many things, the 23 I went to see the game Germany- Ghana, that was on the Soccer City Stadium, it was a very excited game because if Germany loses it, wouldn´t classified to the next round, but Germany won 1- 0. The next day I went to the Ellis Park Stadium, where the match was Italy- Slovakia that was one of the best game I saw because there where many goals, the match ended 3- 2 with the win of Slovakia, and Italy got eliminated from the World Cup. It was a surprising win for Slovakia because nobody would thought that Italy would get Eliminated. The next day was the game of Honduras- Switzerland, but my aunt decided not to go, because Honduras was already eliminated, so we decide to go to Durban and see the match of Brasil- Portugal, that was a better game, and ended 0- 0. The next day we went to a safari in Durban, it was beautiful, we saw giraffes, elephants, rhino´s and more animals. The next day we return to Johanesburg to see the game of Argentina- Mexico, where Mexico was eliminated by a lost of 3- 1, those Mexicans didn´t knew who to lose, because their was a Argentina fan showing off because they won, and a teenager of Mexico fan spit on his face, because of the anger, that was very irrespectful, but nothing ended happening. Then I went to my last match of the trip, Brasil-Chile, that Brasil eliminated Chile, winning 3-0, and the brasilians made a great party on the Mandela Square mall. The next day when a we where going of South Africa, we went to a famous Park called ¨Lion Park¨; where a touch the lion cubs and gave food to giraffe´s and also did a mini-safari, where a saw bigger lions and jaguars and more animals.

June 29-July 5 Finally we went to the airport the 29th at 7:45p.m. we left Johanesburg to Madrid and we left Madrid at 11:25 a.m. and stayed one day at San Jose and then left to and land the 2 of July to Honduras again. A was all the day on my house when I arrive but then I decided to go to Push & Play and rent the movie Invictus. This movie was a very beautiful story and I wanted to see this movie because they told it was very good and even though I come from South Africa I could understand it better. I´d like how Nelson Mandela treat all his employee´s as his family member´s and how he trust on the rugby team until the got champions in the World Cup.

July 6-12

This week I got to Bogota, Colombia on the 9 of July; and then we went to a national park where all the people in the city went to see the Final of the World Cup and they transmitted it in English. That final was very exciting, because with all the people their was a lot of noice and all the emotions that were happening with some spanish people and the people from netherlands. These final match was between Spain- Netherlands, the match ended 1-0, neither both of the teams had won a world cup, and Spain for first time went to a final and won it, and had their first World cup in their times. It was beautiful how all the Spanish people celebrate for all the city, including me and my aunt and some friends.

July 13-19 This week I went to cinema and saw this very interesting movie were the main actors were Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz where they meet themselves in an airport but Tom Cruise was going in a plane where they were only delincuents the Tom had to killed but they put Cameron in it and she falls in love of him so she gets in all the trouble his having. At the end they ended escaping from his job and start having fun traveling in many places in the world. At the end, this movie ended as a movie with comedy, action, and a surprising parts like how good his is fighting and other abilieties he haves.

July 20-26



Today the 25th of July I saw the movie ¨The Other Sister¨that was transmitted on T.V on Cinemax in English. Is a very interesting and romantic movie that it can make you know and learn how some people that are born with a problem can prosper and how they feel and also how their families are involved in all what happens and how they have to confront each other and every time they start a problem at the same time tried to think what happen and try to forget all the bad and confront what better things will happen to you and how it will change your life giving a chance to someone that even though it has problems let her live as a normal person so she can feel that she is not strange and demonstrate what other people can do she can do it also. I would really like you to see this movie and see how people are being changes by confronting all the problems they suffer and then get better of it.
