Cape Greco

When we travelled to Cyprus with our cousins we went to a famous place called Cape Greco. It’s like a cliff that’s open to the sea. It lies between the towns of Ayia Napa and Protaras, both of which are popular tourist resorts. Lots of kids jump off the cliff, but it is really high. I don't know how anyone could jump off of it. There are lots of tall rocks in the water below so if you are unlucky you could hit your head on them. It is known for the fish there, but there were no colorful fish. We saw a small boat that was sunk underwater. Underwater, it was full of scuba divers. According to local legend it is also the home of the 'Ayia Napa sea monster'. It is a very interesting place for tourists.

Fig Tree Bay

This summer we went to Cyprus with our cousins who live in Sweden, where it's freezing! It was humid in Cyprus but in Lebanon it's even more humid so we were used to it! In Cyprus, every day we went to the beach, it was super fun! We went to a famous beach called Fig Tree Bay. The beach was really beautiful... While snorkeling there, we saw lots of colorful fish, and tons of hermit crabs under the sea; it was amazing!!!! We went on an inflatable sofa being pulled by a boat; it was called The Crazy UFO. The boat was going super fast, it was a fun and bumpy ride! We even went water skiing for the second time ever! Fig Tree Bay is the best beach ever!

Hamra Festival Parade

A lot of people go to places like Downtown and the Corniche in Lebanon. There is a small street in Beirut called Hamra. People decided to make a festival for Hamra. That includes a big parade and much more stuff like concerts! We went to watch the parade. I thought it was like the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, but it was not. It was fun but putting a limping horse with a bleeding leg in the parade was just shame! But it was cool and fun with the punchbuggies and Harley motorbikes. There were also cars with figures on them. At the beginning we watched a show including clowns fooling around on the street. It was a good idea to have a festival; I'm sure it will make Hamra more popular. Even the Lebanese army came to play Lebanon’s Anthem! At the end there was an amazing fireworks show that amazed us!

Bingo

My mom found this puppy sitting on a pile of garbage. She bought some hotdogs to feed him because he was starving. He looked so cute so she just couldn’t leave him. Taking him to the vet seemed like the best thing to do so she took him in the car with her. He vomited hotdogs all over her car. That’s when she called us to help her. We cleaned the car and put him in a cage and took him to the vet. The vet put him in a big cage in the clinic. We named him Bingo. Later were gonna need someone to adopt him. It looks like he’s gonna find a home pretty soon!
