fun time with them, I spent a lot of money on the trip, I did many activities with my family, I went camping
with my brother near a beach, besides, I went out dancing and drinking with my parents, I also swam a lot in

I have had many vacations in my life, but the last one I had was the coolest of all, I visited monuments that
were near the beach, I also ate fried fish which was delicious, finally we visited the largest building in the
city, this one was called “Torres de Colón A”. In conclusion, I had the most amazing vacation of my life.
