Ruth’s routine

When I go to bed, I usually brush my teeth at 8:00 o’clock after dinner, but sometimes I forget it and
then I must get up in the middle of the night to do so. Occasionally, when I'm too lazy, I set up an alarm
just for that. On the other hand, there is one thing I'll never be able to do, and it is washing my face
before bed, because that always wakes me up. In the morning, I always wake up and immediately take a
shower, I usually put on shorts and a t-shirt, sometimes I wear a formal dress when I have to go to work.
I often have eggs for breakfast, but always I must drink a delicious coffee.

Step 4: The letter

Read the following letter to my mom and complete the activities below.
Dear Mom.
I am really happy to write to you, last week I was in la Guajira, it is a magical place. I enjoyed every
moment there. On Wednesday, I was landing in Riohacha’s airport at 1:00 pm, I had lunch there in
Riohacha and I spent the whole day around. At 3:00 pm I was eating friche in the main park, it is
delicious. Then around 3:30 pm I was walking around to know the place and buying some souvenirs, at
almost 7:00 pm that day I was doing the check-in in the hotel, it is a wonderful hotel, with a swimming
pool and excellent service. On Thursday I was waking up really early, I was very excited because I was
going to travel to Cabo de la Vela, it is around 3 hours from Riohacha by bus. There in Cabo de la Vela,
the landscapes are really beautiful, I stopped for a minute and I was drinking a delicious juice in a
Rancheria in front of the sea. Then I continued walking and I stopped again in the Arcoiris beach, an
amazing place full of sand colors and very calm. Finally, I went to Ojo del Agua beach, where I was
enjoying of calm and crystal waters to swim, after that, I went to sleep in a Rancheria, it is a real and a
marvelous experience. On Friday the last day of my traveling, I was visiting El Faro, the most tourist
place in Cabo de la Vela and I was running because I also wanted to visit Punta Gallinas, before coming
back and I did it. There in Punta Gallinas I was visiting The Taroa Dunes where is amazing to see the
sand mountains and at the end of those mountains, there is the gorgeous sea. On Saturday I was coming
back to Cali, were 3 amazing days full of moments and experiences very hard to forget.
I can’t wait to take you there with me, dear mom.
Hugs.
