Ciao. My name is Pietro Cei. I am 9 years old and i speak italian. I am from northern Italy, Lorsolo to be exact. I came with my little brother Camillo Cei who is three years old and my mom and step father. i am meeting my cousin, De Paoli Carlo in America. I used to live with my step fathers mother but now we are going to live in America. I am traveling on a ship called Duca Delgi Abruzzi. It is really big. I would guess that it is about 50 feet wide and it weighs more than i can count! My family is leaving the country because there is trouble there but my parents wont tell me what kind. They said something about people doing bad things and innocent people getting convicted for no reason. Therefore we have decided to travel to America where we would have a new life. My parents would have jobs that were better than the ones in my country. I was excited and happy that i would come to America and see my cousin that i haven't seen since in a very long time. We are coming to America for a new and better life. We slept on the floor of the boat because we didn't have enough money to be in first class and we were so tired. we had to get up very early. We ate pretty much what we were given from my father which wasn't much. The whether though, was beautiful. I loved looking out into the crystal water and see some animals like fishes. There were a few storms but we survived through them. When we saw our first sight of the land we were so happy. My father pointed out the statue of liberty to me. It was beautiful. to me, it looked like a green lady holding the torch but to my mother and father it meant more. I t meant that we had arrived safely and had made it through the difficult journey.
