Hi!


Surely you know where I’m writing from if you have been watching the news on the tv. I am in the space believe it or not. It is very difficult to send an email from here to the earth and to live here. The spaceship took off five days ago. We were very tired, however it was fantastic and our goal was nearer to be finished. As soon as we left the earth, we celebrated that we were safe and that we done it without problems. I drank a glass of beer and I forgot what I was doing, where I was and what we were celebrating. I was unconscious, but later I recovered my memory and I remember everything. I am enjoying the journey, I love being in space! It is fantastic! The best sensation, for me, was when I looked down and saw our planet. Yes. Believe it or not I saw the earth! It was very exciting and I began to cry.

A lot of people think I’m crazy to pay this trip. But I know, they say it because they have not been here. This place is incredible and I feel very good and happy to have been able to realize my dream knowing space. I can’t believe I became the first tourist in space! Can you? When I returns to earth , I am sure that I am going to tell everyone I see that makes this spectacular journey into space.

I will invite you to my next trip to space, I have just decided to take another trip. I am sure we will have a lot of fun togheter, and you will enjoy the trip such as I am.Here you can see a lot of incredible thinks. For example: planets, stars, strange lights that move everywhere, satellites, etc.. You’d love it!

Have to go, because it is later and tomorrow I am having a tour around the moon. I’m very nervous for that! See you when I arrive at the earth. I might write you the next week.

XOXOXO

Dennis Tito.

Guess where I’m right now – I’m in Cancun, Mexico! I have stayed here for a month, this city is great and the beach is fantastic. The people are very nice and the weather is perfect, I’m going to do a lot of funny activities. Yesterday I met an English man who invites me to the casino, it was great!

I’m here with my parents, we are staying in a five stars hotel near to the beach. Today we are going to go to a football stadium to see a match, it will be incredible! I’m feeling great here because this city is very fun, but sometimes I want to get back home, I want to see my friends again!

Probably we will come back in two or three weeks, I’m not sure about that. If you want the next summer you can come here with my family. If I’m not come back soon, I will write you again.

See you soon

Hi Zoe!

Guess where I’m writing from – a ship in the middle of the Atlantic ocean! The trip started in Spain in May, and will finish in France in August. The weather’s cold. Recently the storm stoped, and now the rainbow is in the sky.

In the ship I do many things, for example: I read books about navegation, enjoy to see the landscape and enjoy the tranquillity of being alone. The landscape’s so beautiful, I can see the sky, the ocean and some islands. I feel very happy :D and relax. When I finish the journey, I will visit you to talk about our lifes.

I’m going to have a lunch, so have to finish. I will write you in two days.

Love

Ellen.

Letter from Ellen MacArthur to Jennifer Hucknall

To: Jennifer Hucknall “jen_08@hotmail.com”
Date: 25 of July, 2000
Subject: After such a long time.

Hi Jenni,

I can not believe that I am writing you after such a long time!! I have been in France to buy a yacht and I have been repairing it for a long time to race across the Atlantic. Now I am in the middle of the ocean, a beautiful sunrise started the day and I have a very strong feeling of pleasure, I can see beautiful scenery. How are things there, in England?
I am sure that you are studying!! : D, no, no was a joke!

You will never guess what happened yesterday. Had to climb the mast of my boat to repair the sails at four o’clock in the morning and with 100kph winds blowing around me. I took my many hours to make the repairs. Was full of fear and for a moment thought that I would die. But then all were well again.

Well I must cook my lunch now, but I will write you again soon to tell you new adventures in a different place.

All the best,

Ellen.

Hi!

Surely you know where I’m writing from if you have been watching TV. It is difficult to send an e-mail here in the space, I haven`t had signal since we left earth. The spaceship took off two days ago. When we went out from the atmosphere, we celebrated that we were safe. I drank a glass of fruit juice and I was sick :S. Luckily I am recover and we are enjoying the journey, I love being in space! It’s great! It is a fantastic and amazing experience to see our planet, It is the most incredible thing I have ever seen.

People think I am crazy to pay this trip, but I know they say it because they haven`t been here. I think it really worths it. I have had a lot of fun and it makes me happy, isn`t that what matters after all? I really think it is. I am the first space tourist!, I can’t believe it!

I’ll invite you to my next trip to space, I have recently decided that I have to do this again, imagine what am I feeling! You have to do it the next time with me. I’m sure we’ll have a lot of fun together. You’ll enjoy the journey as much as I do, Money isn`t important.

Have to go, because the cosmonauts are calling me, I hadn`t told you that they are very friendly! Ok, see you when I arrive from space. I will send you other e-mail tomorrow if I have signal!

E-MAIL FORM DENISS TITO FOR RODRIGO

Hi Rodrigo!
How are you?
Do you know where I am writing from? Yeah! Sure you know, from a Russian spaceship, in the Space! The fist one that spent vacations in the Space. Don’t know what you are missing!
When the spacecraft left Earth’s atmosphere I dank a glass of fruit juice. You know, it wasn’t a really good idea, ‘cause two minutes later I was sick :(. Don’t worry I am OK :). When I looked down at the Earth it was the best feeling.
I have a lot of things to tell you, there is a cosmonaut that I’ve fallen in love with, and we are thinking in be more than friends in the future :D.
And guess what! Here, like in some places in the Earth, is very difficult make connection with home form here, you know, but I can send an e-mail per week, ‘cause the internet make an interference with the control system of the ship, but once a week doesn’t affect a lot.
Anyway, how are you there? Are you having a good time? I’m waiting for your answer!
I have to go we are having the lunch (isn’t really delicious but is acceptable, is like eat the same all the days, but nobody have any problem). :)
Love you! And next week I will send you another e-mail, and answer!
Deniss

Hi Shakira:
Guess where I'm writing from! - my trimaran in the middle of the Atlantic ocean! I have been driving here all the morning and I'm tired and bored - haven't got any time for relax because I have to drive the ship all the day and the most part of night. Pinnipeda, the dog, is great. It jumps all the day and we play a game every evening when I don't want to drive any more. We miss you and all the humans because we haven't seen a pearson since April and I feel alone. The weather's wet with sunshine all the day. I know here the weather is very cold. Careful - use a jumper and don't drink cold!! Seriously, you should'n do this travel - so stressful and you are very lazy!
I think next week I will arrive Argentina, but I'm not sure, so please, don't wait for me there. You will be nervous.
I have been traveling for fiver weeks. I think was yesterday when I left Ibiza. I get interested, most of the time, with the amazing landscapes, but sometimes I wish I could sleep better, like at home. I left the folder there, so, don't look at my notes!
Have to finish, the boat is wandering throw a place I don't want it to go. I'm going to send you and e-mail tomorrow.

Hi!

Won’t believe where I’m writing from - A bar next to the Niagara's cataracts. Arrived here yesterday. Hope you aren't bored while I am enjoying the weather and the cataracts here in Canada:P.

On the morning, I went with guide all around the Niagara's river, watching the differents seeings of the cataracts. The man talked for about 2 hours about the cataracts, the origin, etc. Here, I'm going to rent a bote for travelling on my own. Could you believe that here, there are a lot of young people of different countries ?
When I was travelling with the guide, there were an Indian, a Chinese, and 2 young men from Ireland, and opposite me, here in the bar, there are a couple of South Africa taking photos. That's crazy because I thought that I would be the only one young man here. :P

I’ve arranged with some people from different countries to go out tomorrow and investigate a little bit more this amazing place. I want you to come with me next year, we are going to have a great moment together. I’m so happy to be here, this is the most beautiful place I’ve been since my childhood.

Have to go because this bar is closing :S. I’m going to stay in Canada for another week, so, I will write you one more time to tell you how the things are.

Hugs and kisses,

Sally.

Hi ¡
Guess where I’m writing from-an hotel in France! Arrived here two days ago because my sailing boat broke down, I had an accident in the coast of France but now everything its ok. France is a great country the boys are very beautiful I’m sure the boys are equally good at home!
There are some beautiful buildings here, a lot of castles and the fantastic Eiffel tower.

Have had a great fun most of time- only the first day was a bit hectic because I was very worried for my sailing boat. Yesterday I went to a Mexican restaurant and there I met a good and a beautiful man .his name is Dominique and he is a doctor. I had a great diner with him! Today we are going to go to the center of the town because I want to do some shopping.

Have to finish- I am going to see a museum now.
I am going to stay in France for another seven days , then I am going to return
Tell me about your life, about your boy friend and your new job.
I will write again,
Love shaii

Tom and I are very sad that you couldn't come with us, all this things are what you allways wanted to see, I'm sure you'd love it.

Yesterday we took a tour but it was only in Florida. It was very funny but I want to know more about this country.
We are going to take a tour of 3 or 4 states more. I thinks New York, Texas, South Dacota and north Dacota,
Oh I forgot to tell you what happened in the airport, A man had the same suitcase and he took mine.
Fortunately I stoped him at the exit and We changed our suitcase.

You won’t believe where I’m writing from- a cyber café in Paris near Tower Eiffel!! Arrived here the last week. Hope you aren’t boring while I’m near from the most popular and romantic destination in Europe. :D

Yesterday I turned up with your friend Ben. We talked for about 3 hours about his new yacht. He has bought the same as mine, a tiny seven metre Classe Mini Yacht.
When I had already headed for France, sailing, realized that had forgotten my passport to get out of the country in my house, so had to return to look for it.
I have gone to a travel guide, it was wonderful. I’ve Met a lot of people and amazing places like, the Orsay museum, the Notre Dame Cathedral and also the Tower Eiffel.

I’ve arranged with Ben to go sailing tomorrow in his yacht, I hope to not bother you…
I’m so glad to be here, is the most beautiful place I’ve been in years, you should come and go to the museums which are fascinating.

Well I’ve to go because in five minutes I’m going to take off to the Champs-Elysees. I’m going to stay in paris for another week, then, I’m going to head for Plymouth because I’ve my first transatlantic raice to New York City. I’ll write again in two days to talk about the sail with Ben…

Hi!
Surely you know where I’m writing from if you have been watching the TV. I’m having some problem to send this email, because here we don’t have much internet in the space like Earth. The spaceship took off one day ago from Houston land ship. When we left the Earth’s atmosphere, we celebrate that we were all with life, so I drank a glass of fruit juice to celebrate that we all with life and ready for the fun we will have. As you know this trip is very dangerous, but luckily until now we are enjoying the journey, it the best being here, the space is enormous that makes it very relaxing and also fun, in my opinion the best thing is that you don’t touch the ground, you are flying like bird, without help.

All friends and family think I’m crazy to pay this trip, I think they haven’t been here, because this sensation don’t have price, all the feelings and sensations I’m experimenting are very different from the Earth at the same time funny. I can’t believe I am the first tourist in space! Can you?

I’m thinking of doing a new trip to space, because this is exceptional and it doesn’t have compare with anything else and I’m sure that you are now thinking that I’m crazy and I don’t know the importance of the money… maybe you are right, but I had tell you that this is exceptional and out of the world (Yes I know I’m out of the Earth) but I’m sure we’ll have a lot of fun together if you come with me in my next journey. Have to finish, because I don’t know how much time I will have internet here. Let’s see us when I arrive. I don’t know if I could write you again. So see you in Earth!

Hi!

Surely you know where I’m writing from if you watch a little news. However, neither thought I that my laptop would work from here… The spaceship took off two days ago, and I drank a glass of fruit juice to celebrate, but it was a mistake because then I felt sick. Luckily, I soon recovered and could enjoy the journey. I love being in space! It’s great! The best sensation ever was when I looked down and saw our planet.

A lot of people think I’m crazy to pay this sum for taking this trip, I think they are jealous. The feelings and sensations I’m experimenting are incredible and incomparable. I think it really worth it. I can’t believe I became the first tourist in space! Can you?

I’ll invite you to my next trip to space (yes, I still haven’t finished the trip and I’m planning to do this again), it’s a little crazy propose but I’m sure we’ll have a lot of fun together and you’ll enjoy the journey such as I am.

Have to go, because the cosmonauts who are travelling with me are calling. Ok, see you when I arrive at land. I might write again tomorrow!

Hi!
You won’t believe where I’m writing from- I'm writing you from El Calafate, Argentina, I'm in the hotel.
I arrived here one week ago and from the moment that I leave the plane, I was very surprised. It's different than England, in England the weather is warm but here is cold and cloudy. People are very warm and easy.

I am very sad that you couldn't come with us because you had broken your leg, but all this things are what you always wanted to see such us Perito Moreno glacier, Spegazini glacier, Onelli glacier, Upsala glacier and the Petrified Forest called “La leona”.

Yesterday I took a tour but it was only in El Calafate. It was boring but I learnt a lot of this beautiful city. At evening I ate cake and tea with new friends.We are going to take a excursion calls “Mini-trekking”. There you can walk in a glacier, in this case we are going to walk in Perito Moreno glacier.I had a good travel, I slept all the night.

Well, I’ve to go because in five minutes I’m going to a museum with Ailen about History. I’m going to stay in El Calafate for another week, then I’m going to Buenos Aires, a place where I am going to watch a football team called San Lorenzo. I’ll write again in ten days to talk about my holyday.
All the best,

I have known Lucila since I was 10 years old. We were in the club “Ciudad de Bs. As.” and she was playing hockey. As soon as she finished we started talking. We realized we had al lot of things in common and I found out that it was my friend. That was the start of our relationship. Two days after I invited her and we went to the cinema, we saw scary movie. The film was very funny and we spent a great moment.

Three weeks ago it was her Bat Mitzvá. She had a beautiful evening dress and the party was great fun and moving. Lucila and I danced all the night and the best moments were when she gave the candles and when I dedicated a few words to her. Finally I gave her gift, a trip for both to Miramar!! , she was really happy and she thanked.
Two days ago we arrived, we spent a fantastic holidays and we took a lot of photos.

But things have been making worse since a week ago because her parents had an argument and her father want to move to another country with Lucila. She is having a bad time and I sticking up for her.

My friend Ayelen

(Gimena yo lo postie el jueves pero no se que paso que no se ve, por las dudas lo posteo de vuelta.)

I have known Ayelen since we were born. Our mothers were at the same university. Also they lived in San Fernando and met their husbands there.
We were friend for 5 years.

She came to may house every day, and we passed hours and hours talking and playing, we found up that we were like sisters. We had the best relationship ever in those years. She also has a brother who I loved; he was my boyfriend for a long time, sometimes she got angry because she was jealous of my relation with him as I spent more time with her brother than with she. But I said
“Sorry” gesturing like a pour girl, and she apologized me.

But the things changed when my parents start thinking about a Jewish school for me.
We left San Fernando and came to Capital. That year was terrible for us, because we lived very far and we couldn’t see each other like the others years. Our mother’s relationship was coming down and our relation also.
Now a days we don’t talk each other but our mother are still friends.

My friend Mariana

I have known my friend Mariana since 2000, we first met at her holiday's flat's garden. Her mom asked me if I could play with her daughter because she was bored. Then, I met her and invited her to my place. We played computer games together and soon we became best friends.
Every year since then we spend our holidays together with my family, but last year Mary's parents invited me to go on holiday with them! We went to Villa Gesell for a month! It was the best holiday of my life. Every morning we used to go surfing, after that we would relax on the beach and to finish the day we went dancing. Mariana and I loved that holiday. We took a lot of photos and had a lot of fun.
When we were in the primary school we used to see each other twice a week but in 2005, when we started the high school, we haven't seen each other any more. However we don't meet each other very much, we never stopped being best friends. We know although we have different timetables we are best friends.

MY FRIEND TATIANA

I have known my friend Tatiana for a long time. We first met at the primary school 5 years ago. We found out that we like hockey and football so I invited Tatiana over to my house.
We watched the Argentina’s games and soon became best friends.

Four years ago , Tatiana’s parents invited me to go on holidays with them, it was fantastic, we went to Uruguay
Tatiana and I loved walking along the center and we surfed and it was greate ! we filmed a lot of videos because she had a camera.
One year ago I did my birthday and Tatiana came, she was very beautiful and all my friends liked her! Since then we haven’t seen each other very much because we go to different high schools but it is not a problem because we talk every day by e-mail. I really love her!

My friend Nico

I have known my friend Nico for a long time. We first met at kinder garden in 1996, exactly 12 years ago. We were afraid and we both wanted to go home, however this was only the beginning of our long story of friendship.
In just a short time, my friend and I realized that we liked the same things. To play the ball, to sing the same songs, to enjoy with the same games, etc. Soon we became best friends.
We found out that we both like playing football and another sports, and we like listening to music very much.
Six years later, in the primary school , when we met at the first day of classes , we remembered the first day we knew ourselves for the first time in the garden and we laughed a lot!
In second , third and quarter year in primary school we went camping together with our class. Now, I remember each of those experiences, they were incredible and special.
We have done a lot of things together since I knew him, for example Two years ago, Nico`s parents invited me to go on holiday with them! It was fantastic! We spent two wonderful weeks in Spain. I could make reality my dream , know Spain ( my favourite country in the world ). There , we visited a lot of cities: Murcia , Madrid , Barcelona , Sevilla and Mallorca. We took a lot of photos and had a lot of fun in this beautiful place.
Last year , Nico became very ill and I went to his house to see him every day. On this days I gave a lot of magazines and games to my friend to animate him.
At the moment we both are studying at Ort high school , but we don`t meet very frequently because we selected different careers last year. I study informatics and he studies managment. We haven`t seen each other very often since Julie`s party two months ago, we haven`t talked on the phone or Messenger. Anyway I always feel Nico near me because he is my best friend and I love him.

MY BEST FRIEND BRIAN

The first time I met Brian was at kindergarden(we entered at the same time there) also we were at the same school. We both are studying at Ort high school too.
After a few time we realised that we think a lot of things that we like or dislike like music, sports and food, however We have a lot of things that aren't in common too, like our favorite subject or our football team.
We are not seeing each other like a year ago but we don’t care about that.A year ago, we had a problem and we don’t want to see each other..... We overcome that. During the holidays, we were in contact; we usualy chat everynight.Last year, we had to choose a diferent specialty, and he chosed something that in spit of we were great bestfriends, I won’t wanted to be a Manager and he won’t wanted to study Informatics, so we have less time to talk or to out going than the other years, but we will be best friends forever and ever, happend wath happend until the end.

In the middle of this year, his father was chosen to do an important job out of the country, that it may take several years in being finished, so of cause of that he had to go to a new country.

Now we don`t see each other so offen (with all the study its kind of dificult) but it is always fun to pass by his house and look up for him. I hope next time we can see each other like old times.

My friend Daiana

I have known my best friend Daiana since 2004, when I started to go with her to primary school. At first we didn’t talk with each other because she was very introverted (now she is not), but about two months later I knew that she was my best friend.
We have fallen out with each other lots of times, but never for more than a day. That is very funny, because we don’t have big fights.
We are making jokes to another person, all the time and never tell on because we are like a big machine of lies. We are always talking about guys and sometimes we like the same person, but we stand by each other so is not a problem. We spend all the day together and it’s just brilliant. I hope to be always like this. I sit with her everyday and she is going crazy because I don’t stop talking. I know that I can always trust in her, because I know she will never let me down.

After that I have gone a lot of times to sleep to David’s house, only or with other friends. We like to go with others friends to play football on Fridays and to go out on Saturday night.

I have known my friend Lucas for a long time. We went to the same primary school, but our relationship started in the secondary school, four years ago. We found out that we have a lot of things in common such as we both like football, music, especially the rock and roll and we enjoy talking each other.
Two years ago we went to a camping that was organized by the school. It was great. We were there for a week. At first we were very happy and obviously we had some arguments during the camping, but we could overcome them and we got on well . But in the third day Lucas broke his leg playing football. So I was there, standing by him in that time. Later, Lucas had an improvement and he was ok.
Last year Lucas said me that he was going to move to another country and I was very unhappy. Since then, we have not seen each other anymore, but we have written emails and letters to each other.
I wish to go to his country to see him and talk a lot of things and don't lose our relationship.

My friend Gaston.

I have known my friend Gaston for a long time. We went to the same Kindergarden, the same Primary school, and we are in Ort Secondary school too.
We found out that we have a lot of things in common, like sports, foods and music. We enjoy talking or seeing each other. We have a lot of things that aren't in common too, like our football team, we go to a different club, or we do a different sport, but we don't care about that.
Two years ago, we went on holidays together. We have already enjoyed it. During the holidays, we went to the beach, we played football, and we went out all nights.
Last year, we had to choose a specialty, and he chose Administrative Management and I, Informatics, so we have less time together than the other years, but despite the fact that we are on a different specialty, we talk on the phone and we write a lot of e-mails.

My Friend Matias

My friend Matias.

I have known my friend Matias for a long time. We first met in the street about 4 years ago but our friendship started when we met in Ort. There, we found out we have a lot of things in common such as music and feelings. Soon, became best friends.

Two years ago, Matias invited me to pass a weekend with him! It was great.
We spent two days in a little country club with a swimming pool. Matias and I loved walking along the club at night. We had a lot of fun.

One year ago I spend a week at home and Matias came to see me three times.
But then, this year, Matias changed to another school. Since then, we haven’t seen each other very much, but we’ve talked on the phone or on Internet.

(Y subi esto el 4/06, pero me equivoque y lo subi en borrador.)

My friend Damian

I have known my friend Damian for a long time. We went to primary school together, but our friendship started in 1999 when I started to go to hebraica club. Together, we found out that we have a lot of things in common, we both liked sports, the same kind of music and we enjoy talking about the past.
6 months ago we went camping, and we stay at a campsite that h ad a lot of funny things to do. When everyone was sleeping, we escape from the campsite and we went to play football with 3 more friends.
In our relationship we went through difficult times but we were always with each other in bad times.
A year ago we started to go together to Bet Hilel groups on Saturdays afternoon.
Now he is at “Carlos pellegrini” secondary, and I am at “Ort”, soo we separated each other when we finished school.
We see each other on Saturdays, so now we do not talk like before, but we are still chatting, playing and going out together.

Writing

I have known Manuel for a long time. We went to the same primary school, but our friendship started in a tennis club that both of us went. We found out that we have some things in common, like Babasonicos and Pinkfloyd. We went to the same garden too, but here we were not friends.
During last summer we went to a lot of parties and we went out all saturday. Also we participied in the same tournament and we were rivals in the semifinals, it was an excellent match but he won.
Since last month that we have not seen, because we have a lot of exams and homework, but yesterday I called him and if he can we will go to the cinema next week or to play football with more friends.

My friend Federico

I have known my friend Federico for a long time. We went to the same garden, but our friendship started when we were at Primary school called “Tel Aviv”. We found out we have a lot of things in common such us we both like Babasonicos (It is a music group), Pettinato (a comedian), we went to the same Secondary school (so we have gone garden, Primary and Secondary school together), and we enjoyed talking to each other.

Two years ago, we went Holidays together. During them, we played a lot of games (Football, Burako,etc.. ), we went to a swimingpool, we saw films and we knew new places in Cordoba.
Although we had a bad weather, we had a great moment there. We went and returned by bus, only ten days we were.

The last year we started going to a club called “Scholem” and also we started to go dancing each Saturday with friends. Now, he is going to constructions, because in our Secondary school you have to choose one specialty, but I am going to Informatics so we have less time together than the last year. There are a lot of specialties such us Informatics, Constructions, Chemistry, Electronics, Musical Production and Administrative Management. We see each other in the break at the school.

My friend Vanessa

I have known my friend Vanessa for a long time. We went to the same volleyball classes for seven years, but our friendship started five years ago, when her parents broke up and she confided me all her feelings, and I was there, standing by her in that bad times. We also found out we have a lot of things in common, besides volleyball, of course: we both like The Police and Bon Jovi, we went to the same kinder-garden and remember the teachers we had so we had a lot of topics to talk, and we enjoyed talking to each other.

Two years ago we went to a concert of The Police together. After the concert, we could go backstage and meet the band, it was great!
Obviously, we had a lot of argues during our friendship but we overcame all the bad moments and we generally got on well and had fun together.

Last year I abandoned the Volleyball classes, so we don’t see each other as often as we used to. We try to arrange to meet in some place but we have different obligations, priorities and timetables that don’t let us. I haven’t talked to her for two months, so we are losing contact and it makes me so sad because we had an amazing friendship and now it is very different.
