This summer the only place that I enjoyed the summer I mean the weather, the beach and the beautiful Mediterranenan sea was my homecountry. It's because I came here on July 10th and started school immediately so I couldn't really have a chance to have fun recently. However I came here(Long Island) last summer also, and I stayed in Lynbrook which is a place on the west side of the island closer to the Manhattan, for five moths. I was staying in a pretty house with an American family and they were so nice to me all the time. They were taking me to the most beautiful places of the Island and telling me about the cultural summer events of Americans like a block party, barbecue in the backyard, enjoying the ice-cream of Port Jefferson etc.. However I enjoyed one thing that we did so much, they took me a street which was closed to the traffic on that day. It was sth for the car-lovers.On that day I saw amazing cars on that street. People could walk along the cars and watch the amazing cars or enjoy the sounds of the most powerful engines :) People who were so proud of their sports cars, classical cars were giving us a chance to feel ourselves like in a car exhibition :) That was a pretty good memory for me....
