Happy Thanksgiving

The last week I couldn’t write in the blog because I was very busy. This week I promise to write six times. I don’t know about what topic I will write because the news is very boring.
Well, this weekend we will celebrate Thanksgiving. My wife, my son and I will go to the relatives’ place in East Rockaway. This holiday is to be with family and rest. I hope the next Thursday and Friday I will get up later because we won’t have classes. Everybody is happy because the weekend is very long but the only ones that are unhappy are turkeys, who are frightened.
Happy Thanksgiving to everybody.

Short Days

New York is the most important city in the world. My wife, my son and I like a lot to live here. But New York has something very bad, this is its climate. In summer it’s too hot and now in autumn and especially in the winter is very cold. Today at 4:30 PM was completely dark, the days are very short. Nothing to do. I hope that the summer come back soon.

Chrismas Time

Yesterday and today I listened to the radio 106.7 while I was working. I enjoyed listening the music because the radio station only played Christmas music. In general this music is very old and very beautiful. I do not know the names of the songs but the best were “Santa Claus is coming to town”, “Jingle Bells”, “White Christmas”, and many others. Christmas time is really the most beautiful season of the year. The stores windows in Manhattan are specially decorated during this season and the look very beautiful. Rockefeller Center and Central Park are places that are necessary to visit at Christmas time. I hope I will go this year with my family to these places.

Close Guantanamo

I think that is absolutely necessary to close Guantánamo. In the Guantánamo Bay Detention Camp the Bush administration ignored human rights. Different countries around of the world say close Guantanamo. It is necessary that all prisoners have a fair judge. Maybe all they are really guilty of terrorist crimes and must pay their respective penalties. To have prisoners without judge is not acceptable.

Autumn

I like the autumn because the leaves of the trees have different colors. When I go to the college I see the trees have such a beautiful color at both sides of the parkway. The mix of the green, brown, yellow and red in the trees makes them to look like a picture. In the beginning of the autumn the trees were green but with the passing of these days are changing colors to brown, red and yellow. The bad of autumn is that the days are becoming shorter and sunset is very early.

President Elect Obama

I’m very happy because the president elect is Barack Obama. Obama won with the big gap over McCain. The Democrat party not only won with the president also they won in the Senate and the House of Representatives. The gap is very important because the citizens are unhappy with the actual government. Most people think a change in the country is necessary. When Republican said about Obama “He doesn’t have experience”, I thought that previous presidents had a lot of experience but everyday this country has more problems such as economics, war, immigration, health, social security and many others, the experience maybe isn’t useful in this government. I think that a fresh political system is necessary. For me the U.S. is the most important country in the world. I hope U.S. to be my country soon and the country of my children, my grandchildren, and my great grandchildren. I want the best for this country and I believe that Obama will be the best president.
God Bless America and President Obama.

Halloween

Last Friday we celebrated Halloween. My son dressed up his custom in the school and every children walked by the neighborhood wearing their customs. In the afternoon my wife and my son dressed up their customs again and walked by the neighborhood with a couple of friends. They received many candies, and they enjoyed so much. For several years in my country people celebrate Halloween too and children walk around their neighborhoods and go from door to door shouting trick or treat same than here.
Actually this celebration is very special for kids.
