El año pasado hice un viaje a Los Angeles. Estuve en esta ciudad por una semana y tuve la oportunidad de experimentar y probar muchas cosas. Fui a varias partes incluyendo al Hollywood Walk of Fame, que es en donde están las estrellas de los famosos. Cuando llegue, lo primero que hice fue visitar una playa en la ciudad que se llama Malibu por un día. ¡Fue tan maravilloso! Tuve la oportunidad de ver un delfín y jugar en la arena. ¡Nunca me olvidaré de este día tan especial! Después de estar un tiempo en la playa, fuimos a comer unas hamburguesas de un restaurante cercano. Ya que terminamos, nos fuimos al hotel en donde nos estábamos quedando. Al siguiente día, fuimos al centro de Los Angeles, ¡Se parece tanto a Nueva York! Tomamos el metro para llegar ahí y caminamos a distintos lugares. Y que bueno que habíamos tomado el metro, ¡por que el tráfico estaba horrible! ¡En este viaje tuve la oportunidad de ver muchas cosas y me enamoré tanto de este lugar! Espero poder volver un día en el futuro.

Last year I took a trip to Los Angeles. I was in this city for a week and I had the opportunity to experience and taste new things. I went to various places including the Hollywood Walk of Fame, where the stars of famous people are. When I got there, the first thing I did was go to a beach in a city called Malibu for a day. It was so marvelous! I had the opportunity to see a dolphin and play in the sand. I’ll never forget this special day! After being at the beach for a while, we went to eat some hamburgers from a nearby restaurant. Once we were done we went to the hotel where we were staying at. The next day, we went to downtown Los Angeles. It looked so much like New York! We took the metro to get there and walked to different places. And how great that we took the metro because the traffic was horrible! On this trip I had the opportunity to see so many new things and I fell in love with this place! I hope to be able to go back again someday.

Hope this helped!!
