Vacation 2015
By Elizangela Goldfrank
On June 8 , 2015 at 10:30 am , we arrived in Brazil . We walked through the immigration and I waited for our luggage . So while I was in line , my son grabbed a cart . Finally the bags came out ; he put everything in the carts and we walked in the direction of the exit .
We got out and I was looking for my cousin who was supposed to pick me up , but I couldn ' t find him . I grabbed my cellphone to call him , “ Where are you ?”
He answered the phone , “ Hi I ' m here at Gate 2 .” I told him that we were at Gate 1 . He said , “ I will be there shortly .”
I walked five feet and I grabbed a cup of coffee while I was waiting for him . So it took a while until he got to the Gate 1 . After thirty minutes , finally I saw him and he was walking in my direction . I couldn ' t recognize him until he got closer to me . I said to him , “ You put some weight on ?”
He quickly answered me with a big smile and grabbed his baby belly , “ I know it has been a long time since I saw you last , but I ' m still sexy ,” he said . I gave him a hug and we walked outside .
When we got closer to the exit , the door opened and I couldn ' t believe how gorgeous it was . The weather was beautiful ; my cousin opened the truck and put the bags inside . I told Alex to sit in her car seat and put her seatbelt on . I told my cousin we were ready to leave -- “ Let ' s go !” I said to him ”. We took off in the direction of my hometown . After thirty minutes of driving , Alex fell asleep .
It took us three hours . Finally , we arrived at our destination . The house was in a private community ; it was beautiful and the view was amazing . I told my friend to come out to the balcony and check out the view . We were in love with the paradise .
