The fall of the leaf

• Spanish version

A couple of weeks ago I traveled for first time to the United States. I went to visit some of my relatives who live near Chicago. It had been a great journey.

The vegetation there was a component of my adventure and something that attracted my attention. I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen red-leafed trees, but I’ve found this to be rather fascinating. However understanding the fall of the leaf had the biggest influence.

Maybe this tree is common in that area, but I was surprised to see it.

I simply looked at which airplanes tickets were the cheapest and didn’t really plan this trip. I had no clue that I would be there on election days, that I would be at the first game of the NBA season, or that the fall would be more notorious.

There were very few leaves on the tree… and a huge task for the neighbors.

Fortunately, the weather was nice when I went there. It permits me to travel to some amazing locations, go to events I never would have thought to go to, and have a wonderful time with my family. I had a really good experience on my vacation, and I hope to return someday.
