My name is Elena and I love to travel. This weekend, I'm going to Cartagena, Colombia. Cartagena is a very beautiful city. My hotel is next to the beach. In the morning, I walk on the beach. The sea is blue and warm. I swim for an hour every day. In the afternoon, I visit the old town. The streets are colorful and pretty. I eat fresh fish for dinner. At night, I watch the sunset. This getaway is perfect for me.

Clever stuff happening!
