Colorado, USA

Everybody knows Colorado is known for its amazing ski resorts, Vail, Copper (picture above), Loveland, Breckenridge, and so many more. I have been to Colorado two times. Both times I have gone to Copper Mountain on ski trips with my school, Stratton Mountain School (SMS). Along with Copper, SMS goes to Vail. These two mountains are great because they both have perfect snow conditions for all types of skiing from training gates on icy hard snow, to fresh powder in the trees. They have everything. Another fun thing that I like to do when I go to Colorado is go to the town of Breckenridge. It is only half an hour away from Copper and it is fun because you can do many things. For an example, you can go shopping, grab some ice cream, and even go on horse slay rides! Lastly, I also like going to Beaver Creek to watch the World Cup Ski race called the Birds of Prey. It is one of the best races to go to because it is the first race of the World Cup Tour of the season. Hope you go and visit Colorado soon!!!

Greece

"I want to move there because the food, the people, and the scenery"-Tyne Pike-Sprenger and Dave Rothman.  In this post, I'm going to talk about one the the islands in greece, Santorini. This is Dave and Tyne's (teachers from my school) favorite place at Greece. Santorini is an island that was once a volcano, but erupted. Half of the volcano is under water but the other half is still there. The island is in the shape of crescent moon because only half of the island is there and it is very steep. It is also known for having different colored beaches such as white, red, black. This is caused by the eruption of the volcano. The picture above is Santorini facing the Mediterranean Sea.
