Last month I went to Cancun, Mexico with my family. It is a city on the Yucatan Peninsula with great
beaches! On the first day we went to the beach to go swimming, but there was a lot of
seaweed. So we went to the pool, but there too many people there! We really wanted
to swim, so we swam anyway. After that, we wanted to eat Italian food, but there any
Italian restaurant, nearby, so we went to eat seafood, but there only fried fish on the
menu! The next day we went to the art museum, but it was closed. There anywhere
nearby to visit, so we went back to the hotel. Luckily back at the hotel there a beach
party, so we had a lot of fun!
