Pitaya and Claw-machines


By Carolina Brustz Rodrigues


In December last year, I went to the beach with my family. We usually go to the beach once a year. We always go to a different beach. This year we went to Camboriú. Camboriu is a beautiful beach in Santa Catarina. We stayed there from the last days of December to the first days of January. We celebrated new year’s eve there. It was awesome to see the fireworks by the beach.
We stayed in a rented apartment.  There was a shopping centre next to the apartment we were staying. Atlântico Shopping Center was its name. In this shopping centre there as an ice-cream parlour that sold pitaya ice-cream. Pitaya ice cream is delicious. It is delicious and the colour is amazing. I love its colour. It is bold pink and I love this colour.
There was something else in this mall which I liked very much. It was a claw-machine. Actually, there three claw-machines. In case you don’t know, a claw machine are those machines which you insert a coin and, after inserting the coin, we can try to catch a toy that is inside it. It is usually very difficult. Every day, my sister, my brother-in-law and I, tried to catch the teddy bears from the claw-machine. It was cool to try but, there was something we didn’t like very much. The place was always crowded. Lots of people stayed there looking at people trying to catch the toys.
I was very frustrated. It seemed to me that everybody was able to catch the teddy-bears. I was not.  But, eventually, we managed to catch five toys. I was extremely happy.
We stayed there for ten days. I remember being caught in the rain one day. We were riding a rented bike round the city and, suddenly, it started to rain. We didn’t care about the rain, actually, we loved it. Everything was so much fun.

Basking on the balcony, Granny can still keep an eye on the children. We lay on the beach, basking in the warmth of the hot sun. I never minded basking in my wife's reflected glory .
