Summer

Summer, summer is a great thing. It gets you out of school for 2 months. That is a long time, out of school. It’s hot, sunny, and best of all its not cold! In my summer brake I usually go to Italy for the month of July to get into some real heat.

When I’m there I like to go to the beach, visit family and travel around the country.
When I’m in Italy I go to beaches in San Vito Marina and Pescara. My favourite beach is in Pescara because the water is always warm and there are not many people there. My other favourite part about going to Pescara over San Vito Marina is because the waves. The waves are massive, like not tsunami massive but a good 6 feet high. It’s so cool just getting murked by these massive water creatures. There is also a lot of shopping so when you are tired of swimming and getting hammered by the waves you can go chill at a bar/restaurant and get a bowl of spaghetti and meatballs. After lunch you can go shopping in the stores. But in San Vito Marina the waves are smaller  but there is a pier you can jump off. The pier is like 20 feet off the water so sometimes when you land wrong it can hurt a lot. After swimming I go back to my grandma’s place and crash for an hour or 2 until dinner is ready.

When I go to Italy I stay in Lanciano. My family lives in San Vito Marina so we have to take a bus there which takes around 20 – 30 minutes. But the busses are coach, so it makes it a lot better. Or I can take a luxury train which takes around 15 minutes. When I get to the city I have to walk around 10 minutes to get to their houses. When I get there we eat lunch and chill and talk, but of course they all speak a slang Italian so even with my partial knowledge of Italian I still can’t understand because they don’t speak proper Italian. So during the time I’m chilling at their house and eating lunch it is really aqward. But after lunch we go to the beach so it’s all good. I have no family anywhere else.

When I am there I stay in a little town called Lanciano, so to get to some good sightseeing and shopping we have to travel to other, bigger, well-known cities like Rome, Venice, Florence and Pescara. To get to most of those towns we have to travel a long way, like 5-6 hours long. We take the train, because they are really nice and comfortable and fast. When we travel to bigger cities we shop a lot and eat a lot. When I went to Rome I went to Spanish Steps and the Ferrari Store and of course the Vatican. When I went to Florence I saw the Doumo and shopped a lot. When I went to Venice I went and took a boat to an island I forget the name, but it was really cool. We also took a gondola through Venice. I liked them all the same for different reasons.

So, that is what does most of the time in my summer. I love going to Italy for my summer break. But this year I want to go to school there (CCI) my brother and sister went there so now I want to go there too, of course. So that is why I love my summer.

If i had 40 million dollars

If I won 40 million dollars, I would be so happy that I would cry. When you think about it 40 million dollars is a lot of money and it can change your life dramatically. If I won 40 million dollars I would use all that money to but a bunch of things including my own private jet, multiple houses all over the world and I would have a collection of super cars.

When I go to buy my own personal private jet I would need to have a lot of big TV’s inside the plane with x-box 360 hooked up to all of them and satellite with it too. I would also need to have full service with food and drinks whenever I want it. I would also need to have a pilot and a co-pilot to fly my plane. It would need to be very fast so if I am in a hurry to get somewhere I could get there very quick in and safe... It would need to be very comfortable and have a smooth flight. I would want it to have at least 35 seats in the plane so if I wanted to throw a party in it would have enough room for some people. That would cost around 10 to 15 million dollars.

So with my other 25 to 30 million dollars left I would first buy a huge house in Italy most likely in Tuscany with a wine vineyard and it would have to an old castle. But inside it would be decked out with massive TV’s with stone and timber inside and an arcade in the basement. I would need to have 7 to 10 bedrooms and the with same bathrooms. Outside seeing how Tuscany is not near the coast of Italy ( its in the middle ), I would have a giant pool shaped like the country Italy , like a boot with a hot tub in the toe and the water everywhere else. That would cost around 10 to 13 million dollars.

So with my 20 million dollars left I would have to have a very nice and good collection of old and new super cars. First I would buy a Bugatti Veyron then a collection of Aston Martins and a collection of Ferraris and Lamborghinis. In my Aston Martin collection of cars I would have a DBS and a One of 77. In my Ferrari collection I would buy a 16M (Marenello), a Ferrari f50, and a Ferrari California. I would also buy a Lamborghini Murcielago, a Gallardo, and a revonton. And most defiantly a Rolse Royse Phantom blacked out with 24” rims. That would cost around 15 million dollars.

With the rest of my money, I would put it into the bank for future needs. So if I had 40 million dollars that is what I would spend it on.
