Moscow, Russia


Moscow is one of Russia's legendary cities and is the largest metropolis. It is also one of the most expensive cities in the world. The city park are full of flowering trees with colorful leaves. St Basil's Cathedral is the masterpiece and wonder of the 16th Century. From Gorky Parkland Sparrow Hills you can enjoy a 30k panoramic view of Moscow.

I went shopping and realized the prices were very expensive so all I bought was a postcard of the cathedral. I went by one of the orthodox churches and it was very big and pretty, I stood in line to pray. It was very cold and the women were wearing scarves and men fur hats.

Big Ben, London England


This was the next place I stopped on my trip. The Clock Tower was built between 1843 and 1858. It is 316 feet high. You can go into the Clock Tower and you can also go to the London Eye for the best view of Big Ben. Big Ben is the largest clock found in Great Britian and one of the largest in the world. The Westminster Abbe is .2 miles from the clock tower and I walked there after I left Big Ben.

I rode the ferris wheel close to the square where Big Ben is and I could see the Big Ben Clock from the top of the ride. I went over and sat down across the street and heard the clock chimes and it was loud and majestic in sound. I took so many pictures, and loved being in England.

Leaning Tower of Pisa, Rome, Italy


The Leaning Tower of Pisa was my next stop. The Leaning Tower of Pisa was built between 1173 and 1358. The tower is 185 feet high (8 stories high). It weighs 14,700 metric tons. The tower was an expiriment from Gallaleo. The tower is a bell tower in the italian city of Pisa.
When I came here I went to the cathedral and took many pictures of the leaning Tower of Pisa. I noticed the tower was leaning to the East. I ate lots of traditional Italian food and liked the noodle dishes.

Cairo, Egypt



Cairo, Egypt is the next place I went to. Cairo is near The Great Pyramids of Giza. There are ancient tombs, temples, and Christian churches all around Cairo. Cairo is known as the Triumphant City and is officially known as Quahirah.

When I went to Cairo I went to the Cairo Opera House. The opera house was built in 1988. I also looked at the Great Pyramids and the Great Sphinx. I took many pictures. I also bought some exotic spices from the merchants on the streets.

Monrovia, Liberia

Monrovia, Liberia is the next stop in my trip around the world. Monrovia is the largest city on Liberia. Monrovia is major port area. There are many beaches in Monrovia, a nice place to sit down on one of the beaches and relax.

Monrovia is the financial hub or the country.
When I was here I spent most of my time sitting on the beaches. It was cloudy most of the days while I was here. I took many pictures on the beaches.

Manaus, Brazil


Manaus, Brazil is the next stop on My Around the World Trip. When you wake up in the morning you sometimes would like be at one of the public markets to buy many fruits from the Amazon. There are sometimes water craft parades with many boats. It is called the Processao de Sao Pedro.

I liked the Processao de Sao Pedro when the boats all went shooting by. After I got done watching the boats, I went to a museum called the Natural Science Museum. It was a Japanese- Brazilian museum with many kinds of different stuffed fish and insects.

Lima, Peru


Lima, Peru was the next place to go to on my trip. There are many festivals here all year around. One of the festivals is the Lord of the Miracles, which is in honor of a patron saint of Lima. The people in Lima have many parades. One with a float dedicated to Jesus. There are people who dance and sing during the parades and the festivals.
I loved to go and watch one of the parades and one of the festivals. I learned many traits about the culture in Lima, Peru. I also liked to go to a museum called The Museum of Anthropology and Archaeology, because I would like to go see all the pottery and textiles from all around ancient Peru.
