 A Memorable Vacation

Listen to the audio about my last holiday in Nayarit. Now do the same for you. Record yourself. Use the audio script below to help you prepare

Traveling in Mexico on holiday is good because there are nice beaches, and the weather is, almost anywhere, better than Juarez.

There are lots of good places to go but my favorite place is definitely Nayarit. I went to Tepic, Nayarit, last year in March, just for a week during spring break.
I flew to Guadalajara, and then I took a three-hour bus ride to Tepic. Personally, I enjoy traveling by bus, and I think it’s a really relaxing way to travel because you get to see the beautiful countryside. When I arrived, my family picked me up at the bus station, for my father and my sisters live there.

What I like about Nayarit is that it’s not a very touristy place, yet it has beautiful beaches such as San Blas, great weather, and delicious seafood.

One of the most enjoyable things I did was visiting an oyster farm. My father took me to this place called “Los Conchos,” where the people who live there grow oysters in an estuary.  We went all the way to the place where the fisherman  harvest them. We bought two dozens of fresh oysters and ate them with lime, salsa huichol, and a cold beer. It was great!

We also went camping to this little town called San Francisco, or “San Pancho,” as the people from Nayarit call it. There we camped on the beach. After setting the camping tent, I went for a swim in the ocean. Then we made a bonfire at night. My sisters, my father and I told jokes and had a great time around the fire.

Sadly, I had to come back to Juarez. But I will take with me those wonderful moments. I’m looking forward to going back to Nayarit on my next vacation.
