Monterey Bay Aquarium

Now I am in California.  It is the best, oh my gosh.  My adventure is off to a great start.  The  Monterey Bay Aquarium here in Monterey, California is amazing.  There were lots of fish (of course). And also otters, a kelp forest and lots of other cool stuff.  All the exhibits were so beautiful. It was almost like snorkeling.  My favorite was the jellyfish. They were so cool. Especially the clear ones just glubbing around in their tank. I wish I could do that!

The aquarium also had a area with awesome looking sea creatures made completely out of recycled trash, there were even trash jellyfish! Well the Monterey bay aquarium was pretty awesome and I would recommend it if you are ever in the area. Get ready for more awesome adventures.

Sayonara!  Hisako

Hisako in California

Hey there! It is me Hisako again!  I am going on my second adventure.  This time to...California!  I am most excited for the beach and having fun with my new friends.
The first thing I did with my friends was shopping.  Yay! I love to shop.  Before we got to California we had to get some warmer clothes, since it is January.  Burrr.  They did not have my size. But I fit very well in my friends pocket. It was actually pretty comfortable.

 Now that we are warm and cozy and comfortable it is time to get on the plane to California.  In the plane I enjoy the view from the window and listen to one of my favorite stories, Harry Potter!  I am very tired but I stay awake because I am too exited to sleep.
Finally, we have arrived in California.  It has been a long day and I am tired.  I am looking forward to the rest of my California adventures.  Till then, adios.

Christmas in New York City

Hi! It's Kara here.  I was in New York for Christmas!  I love New York.  All the lights and good food.  The only down side of New York is that it is too crowded for me to go for a run.

On the plane I got to sit in first class. It was very comfortable it even had a bed seat.

The first thing that my traveling friend and I did when we got to New York was, go to the Radio City Music Hall to watch the Rockettes in The Christmas Spectacular show.  It was so amazing!  I always wanted to see the Rockettes.  I even thought I could maybe even be one and kick all of our legs all at the same time so that we look like a giant centipede tap dancing in one sparkly dress.  And even be in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade on live television across America!  That would be so fun.

After the Christmas Spectacular we went to the Time Square M&M store.  This is probably the hugest candy store.  It is four stories high and based all around M&Ms. Inside there was a huge M&M statue of liberty! And as I mentioned in my first post I am probably the WORLDS BIGEST M&M EATER and I was so excited to see the original M&M store.

What an amazing time in New York City.
Till next time, sayonara!

Kara visits Athens, Greece

My friend and I are on another adventure. We started out by stopping in Schipol Airport in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The first picture is of me waiting for our next flight  in the Crown Lounge which was.....!!! super cool !!! And after we visited the lounge we walked right into a huge and fancy airport; woah.  It would take me forever to walk through here on my own! It was a little over whelming!  I'm so thankful for my trusty running friend.  

In this picture, you can see me in Greece.  I am in front of a temple called the parthenon.  It was built for the Goddess Athena and is also one of the most famous surviving buildings.  It is over 2,000 years old.  I think it was really cool to look at in person after seeing it in so many pictures and post cards.  
Next, my friend and I went to run the Athens marathon.  This is the home of the first marathon ever.  Along time ago, the Greeks defeated the invading Persian army. Yay, Greece.  The Greek soldiers sent a guy named Pheidippides to run from the battle field, in Marathon, all the way to Athens to let everyone know that they had victory.  It is said as soon as he said "niki" which means victory, he died.  This marathon commemorates, Pheidippides, the first marathon runner.  Avtìo!  

Kara visits Indianapolis

Today I visited Indianapolis.  That's a long word, huh?  My friend and I are at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway where the annual Indy 500 is held every May.  The speedway was built over a hundred years ago.  The rectangular track is two and half miles long.  For the Indy 500 the cars make 200 laps to go distance of 500 miles.  The record for one lap around is just under 38 seconds.  I was so exited that I ran a lap around the track, it only took me two hours!  Now I am going to crash.

Kara in Morgantown

On Sunday, my friend  and I went on another marathon adventure.  This time in Morgantown, West Virginia.  Morgantown is hilly and has tons of trees.  You can see part of the basketball coliseum for West Virginia University behind me.  It was so much fun.  Now I am at the Minneapolis, St. Paul Airport getting ready to go back home.  I had a lot of fun and I am sad to leave, but I am also exited to go home.  I hope to go on my next journey soon. Till next time! Ciao!

Kara in Ohio

I am on my first adventure, and I am so excited.  I am in Dayton, Ohio, the birthplace of aviation.  Today I went to the Air Force marathon.  My friend took me along to the National Air Force Museum.  It was so awesome to see all the amazing planes, while doing my favorite thing...running!
I loved the marathon, but now I am really tired.  I need a massage.  Till next time; good night!
