CARRIE - How was your vacation?

ANDREA - It was great.
CARRIE - Where did you go?
ANDREA - I went to California. I visited Los Angeles and San Diego.
CARRIE - Which did you like better?
ANDREA - Well, I liked both cities but for different reasons. San Diego is smaller than Los Angeles. Los
Angeles is huge! I also think San Diego's prettier. The coast is beautiful and they have a beautiful park in the
middle of the city called Balboa Park. The air is much cleaner in San Diego than in Los Angeles.
CARRIE - Sounds great!
ANDREA - I think Los Angeles was more exciting than San Diego. It was exciting to see Hollywood. I even
saw a few stars.
CARRIE - How was the weather?
ANDREA - It was fantastic. It's a little bit warmer in Los Angeles than in San Diego but both cities had great
weather.
CARRIE - It's really cold here. I wish I could be in California right now!
