Julie's Blog: Mexico!
I'm just back from a month in Mexico with my parents. I had a terrific time it's an amazing country! It's also enormous. I never realised that before I visited it! We went all over the country. The longest trip we did was by train from Chihuahua to Al Pacifico. It goes for 670 kilometres and it takes 13 hours! That was fun though because we met some Dutch girls and we played cards. We're now friends on Facebook! Later, we went to the mountains in the north of the country. It was absolutely freezing! I didn't pack the right clothes before I left England, so I had to buy a new jacket. It's great though, and I'm looking forward to wearing it at home. My favourite part of the trip was Baja California. We went to the coast to go surfing and to go whale watching. My mum and I were delighted when we did that. I've wanted to go whale watching since I was little, so it was a dream to see them in real life. We took a lot of photos that day. Then, the final part was our journey home. Dad drove to the USA and we got a plane from San Diego, but we were in the car for hours and I was absolutely exhausted by the time we got to the airport. But what a trip! I've never had such a great experience in my whole life! 1 Julie was surprised because Mexico is very big._______________ 2 She went on a very long coach journey. _______________ 3 She met some old friends from Europe. _______________ 4 The weather in Mexico was really hot. _______________ 5 She got some new clothes. _______________ 6 She went in the sea. _______________ 7 They saw some wild animals during the trip. _______________ 8 She felt really tired when they got on the plane. _______________
