Take notes

Text 1Last summer I went to New York I visited so many monuments and met wonderful people. The only thing that was annoying is when at the airport I had to answer this really long questionnaire about why I was coming to the USA and how long I was about to stay.Text 2This summer I stayed in France because I wanted to protest against long-distance trips and their impact over the planet. I really spent a good summer here so I guess that I'll keep visiting places not really far from my place.Text 3Finally, summer is over... I know what you think, what is he saying? Well, July was horrible for starters, raining every day and not even a single opportunity to get to the each and enjoy the sea. August was a bit better but let's face it it was not the best summer ever... am I right guys?
