It was one of the greatest trips that we had ever had. We visited some family that we had there and we went to most of the important landmarks like the empire state, the statue of liberty, and the New York zoo. Going to all these places made me incredibly grateful and joyous.]]> 2022-10-26 01:40:35 UTC https://padlet.com/deviaemanuel/5ngiwrceryaynq0u/wish/2356432246 deviaemanuel https://padlet.com/deviaemanuel/5ngiwrceryaynq0u/wish/2356441600 Then in 2016 we had to move to Colombia after 11 years of living in the USA.
