The end of the crisis

Last Tuesday, Ben Bernanke, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, predicted that 2010 “will be a year of recovery” On Friday, Americans learned that the gross domestic product fell 6.2 percent in the last quarter of 2008, suggesting that the recession may be deeper than anticipated. So when, exactly, will the misery end? I do not now but I hope it is going to be soon, bacause I had never seen something like this before in my entire life and I don't want to see this anymore.

Here I am on a regular Sunday trying to write something interesting, at the same time I am watching tv, on the news it is showing the carnival on Rio de Janeiro, it is nice to see that amount of people happy and dancing and enjoying this big party instead of being fighting like everyone else on the news, it is refreshing to see these kind of fun things on the news.
I am still in front of the tv, I am not really very focus on this but I know that this is part of my homework and I am really engage with this class, I really want to improve my wrtiting skills; however, it is really hard for me to focus on just writing about anything, but I am going to keep trying.

places I call home

There is so many places I love to visit, but there is nothing like home, I actually have two places I call home, the fisrt one is Stratford, CT, where I am living right now, it is a quiet town Northeastern United States, life in here is calm, secure and it is a very nice environment for my daughter to grow up, I go to college at Norwalk, another little town in the same area and work here, too. There is another place which is my home town, the city's name is Medellin, it is a big industrialized city in Colombia (South America), with around 3 million people, the wheather is always nice, temperature is about 26 degree celcius or 75-80 Farenheit, it is a valley surrounding by big mountains, people is very friendly, women are beautiful and the most important thing all my family is living there.
In general everywhere in Colombia I feel home, because is the place I was born and grew up, I know the culture, the language and a very important thing, I do not need visa to go there.
There is another beautiful place in Colombia, it is called San Andres Islands, in this place I feel home, I feel in paradise, everything in there is wonderful, beautiful beaches, the sea colors are unique in this place, they called it the seven colors sea,because from the heights you can see different tones of green on the water.
