Hola! Lo pasé bomba con mi madre en España. Alojamos en un hotel de cinco estrellas y jugamos voleibol por la noche y vimos muchos delphines. Comimos en el restaurante diferente cada día pero mi favorito se llama Pablo's porque la comida fue deliciosa. La vida nocturna en España es divertida pero la vida nocturna en Inglaterra es aburrida. En España comen muy tarde pero en Inglaterra comemos a las seis o siete. ¡Fue interesante! Este verano, voy a ir los Estados Unidos ya que hace sol y no llueve allí.

Hi! I had an amazing time with my mom in Spain. We stayed in a five-star hotel, played volleyball at night, and saw lots of dolphins. We ate at a different restaurant every day, but my favourite was called Pablo's because the food was delicious. The nightlife in Spain is fun, but the nightlife in England is boring. In Spain, they eat very late, but in England, we eat at six or seven. It was interesting!
This summer, I'm going to the United States because it's sunny and doesn't rain there. We want to see the Statue of Liberty because it's very, very big. Vacations are important because they're relaxing, and there's no stress from homework or work. I would like to go on vacation more often, but I don't have much money.
