Mini-Traveling

California, Mexico, Boston & Washington
These are places I have lived, some for not very long others for many years. Plenty of memories were made in these places. A few were sad, some her exciting, and some were just humble. Here is where I’ll begin to share a couple of them with you.

California, this state was where I was born and mostly raised with few trips to other places I mainly grew up in the southern part of California. This was the first place I started my life, by walking, talking, & growing. I have lived in California for over 18years with a few months here and there of a ‘living’ vacation in another place. In the 18+ years I have been there I grew in to a young lady, with the boyfriend experiences, and school attendance issues. This place was where I learned my lesson in shoplifting. Living in California I learned several things including how to ride a bike, swim, and attempt to enjoy life.

Mexico, this country was a new experience at age 6. I was found to be the rich kid in town. I had many friends I attended school for one and a half years. I lived in a decent little house on a hill, but that’s not where I first lived in Mexico. My first temporary housing situation was in a tent in an unfinished built house, it had no windows, and no doors, not even a floor, only one of dirt. It was very dirty; we used a camping stove and walked up pails of water to bathe with. This was a strange place to live. The whole town knew each other, people didn’t mind leaning about one another, and they were all so friendly.

Boston, now this place was a large city; I didn’t live in the downtown part of it but pretty close. Quincy was the town I lived in; it had a bus system like no other place I have seen. The train ran every 10 or so minutes and you could catch it to anywhere in the city. In downtown Boston, you could walk to a few train stops or ride the train to the same spot. Taxis were everywhere you turned. I never really got a chance to ‘yell’ for a taxi but I wanted to. Living in Boston was very interesting, the kind of people you saw, and the different races all surviving the big city together. I really was in a different environment there.

Washington is this green, tree infested land. Walk out your door and get lost in the woods. The town of Shelton is simple and sweet. The people are pretty nice, and helpful. I learn many things being in new places and I tell you this is a good peaceful place to be learning about anything. The air is so clean, and the smell is fresh. The bus line for the county is free; not very often you get a free ride around town. The roads are easy to get in to and out of own, one main highway to the city. Given there are many freeways to take you to other places. Life out there seems relaxing, even the city is nice to be in. Living in Washington is different just like any other place, the only difference is the air seems alive with plant life, the cars are the same like any other state, but I guess with all the trees the air gets filtered daily.
