My Flying ExperienceFather and I were going to Davao for an

exciting summer vacation. It was my first time to ride in an airplane. I sat by the window so I could clearly view the beautiful sights down the earth. The plane flew over some wide, grassy, green plains. I saw two, long, narrow rivers which looked like white threads on the ground. Several huge, majestic, purple mountain ranges fascinated me.

We also passed over some enchanting, deep, blue bodies of water. It took me only one, short, exciting hour of air travel to see some of the best parts of my country.
