I will put some differences here between Croatia and America that I've noticed.

 

                  AmericaCool                                 CroatiaSmile

 Almost no public transportation            People ride public transportation (trams, trains, and buses)(or walk) EVERYWHERE

sliced bread                                           Almost no sliced bread

 Almost no bakeries                                LOTS of bakeries

 

 

these are the main differences I've noticed, besides the language.

Also, if you've ever watched the movie Cars, I think that California = America, and Radiator Springs = Croatia

Me and Marta
My friend Marta and I wrote a poem called friendship, and here it is.Laughing

 

                           Friendship

Friendship is like all the birds in the sky,

Friendship is someone to help you fly high

Friendship is someone helping you shine,

Friendship is great like a towering pine.

Friendship is reding a book by the fire,

Friendship is having someone to admire.

Friendship is worth all the jewels on the earth,

Friendship is really alot more than worth.

Friendship is like all the daisies in bloom,

while sitting curled up in a cozy cocoon.

Friendship is like a blooming rose,

Friendship warms you right down to your toes.

Frienship is like puppies running in the snow,

Frienship is watching a flower grow.

Frienship is like ice on a summey day,

 Friendship is like butterflies flying in May.

Friendship is making someone laugh,

Friendship is splitting somethings in half.

Friendship is talking to one of your friends,

Friendship is something that will never end.

Friendship is what put this poem together,

and Friendship will keep us together forever.

Daddy and I in the Boundary Waters
My favorite kind of camping is Boundary Waters camping. 
Here are six reasons why I like it. 
1. I don’t have to do school or go to bed at a certain time. 
2. I feel really close to God. 
3. I get to spend lots of time with my family.
4. I love skimming across a glassy lake in a canoe. 
5. I also like that the Boundary Waters is so big, leisurely, and remote. 
6. I LOVE exploring new places.  I usually can’t wait to see what’s around the next bend in the river. 
There are lots more reasons, but I don’t want to write them all down.


In Croatia, we are going to be helping at camp, so here are 5 reasons why I like camp. 
1. I like being with other kids my age. 
2. I like the activities. 
3. I like learning more about God. 
4. I like the sort of excitement that always seems to be at camps. 
5. I like making new friends.
