Hi Jesse,
You asked about my vacation. There was good and bad.
It was a long trip. The airline was terrible. Everything was late, and the airplane was
filthy, with food on the floor and papers everywhere. We flew to the capital city,
and then we took a train. We took a boat to get to White Beach. We left home at
5:00 a.m., and we arrived at 10:00 p.m.
The beach was amazing! It really is white, and it’s very clean. In fact, it was spotless,
and the water was warm and blue. We went swimming every day and walked on the
beach. Our hotel was huge but very nice. The food was OK, but the restaurants had
only a few different dishes. We had fish every day.
One day, we took a bus tour. It was exhausting! We went to about 20 different
places. We only stayed for 10 minutes at each place, so we didn’t have time to take
photos. And the tour guide was terrible. He didn’t speak English very well.
At the end of our vacation, we went to a gift shop. They had some nice souvenirs
there. I bought T-shirts for all my friends. I have a T-shirt for you, too!

See you soon!
