Christmas Break









I did many fun things during my winter vacations. First, I went to Guadalajara to visit my family. While I was there my family made a dinner, in which we made a gift exchange. When it was our turn to give the gift, we didn't describe the person we were giving it to, instead we told a funny story about them, or something they did that helped someone a lot. After giving the gifts we had dinner. My dad and my uncle prepared onion soup and a rissotto for all of us. The food was delicious, everyone liked. Being in Guadalajara was something I really enjoyed.

Another fun thing I did was going to the beach in Puerto Vallarta. I had some family visiting my family here in Puerto Vallarta. They were staying in Playas Gemelas, which are apartments that are on the way to Conchas Chinas. Since it was december, the waves were really big (from 3 to 5 meters tall). My cousin, my brother and I was diving into the ocean, and they were throwing me into the waves so they would knock me down. When we got tired we decided to go to the pool. After an hour I left with my family to my house. The beach was awesome that day.

The last interesting thing I did in vacations was celebrating on Holiday Inn. First, when we arrived, I was talking with my friend. Pretty soon the band started to play songs. After about 30 minutes the food was being given. They served pumking soup, duck and beef medallions, and lastly raspberry mousse with chocolate cake. After eating everybody went to dance on the dance floor. The hotel distributed hats, necklaces, ballonds and all kinds of objects to clebrate and decorate. My cousins and I went to take some photos, doing tricks with cellphones. After some time the fireworks started, and Holiday Inn was the hotel that lasted the most throwing fireworks. The party was something unforgetable.
