When I was little, I and my parents made a trip by car, we traveled France to go to Spain, and during this trip I had a notebook on board.

Today is July 17th, 2011, and I am excited to discover the city and the activities. First we went to the sea, there were a lot of people and the sea was huge!, I had never seen so many people in one place, it was very hot and I rushed into the sea It was the first time that I was swimming alone in a foreign country, it was incredible. Secondly, we had gone swimming with dolphins, in the past I had never seen dolphins in real life, I had a lot scared but when I caught on to the dolphins, it was a dream come true, I felt like I was flying. Then we went to a Spanish restaurant which was very beautiful, I had to eat a delicious dish, it was a wonderful moment with my parents. Finally, in the evening around 22h, we went outside and we had to visit the city, where my father bought me a bracelet that I really liked, and then we went back to the hotel.
