20. My last vacation Last year I really enjoy my vacation. I had time to relax, to do the activities I really like, to spend time with my family and friends and many things else. I have never been to the coast and I was really surprised when I saw the beautiful beaches, the deep blue sea and the wonderful people that live there. I haven´t eaten fish soup because my mother doesn´t know how to cook it, we went to a restaurant and my friends told me that I will never regret it, they were right….that was the most delicious soup I have ever tasted. I also ate a kind of candy that is prepared in the coast region of Colombia. It is prepared with coconut, sugar, and a secret ingredient. We decided to go to Islas del Rosario, an island near Cartagena, it is a beautiful place, I had never seen a dolphin and I have never been to an aquarium before, you can find them there; I took a lot of pictures and my family hadn´t taken any pictures with those sea animals they were so happy that they took pictures with sharks, sea horses, sting rays, octopus and sea start. It was the best vacation I have had and I invite you to visit the coast region of Colombia.
