Mexico!!

Guess what! I missed almost all the snow because I was in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. I was in Mexico for seven days. When i was there we went into town and did a few touristy things but we mainly stayed by the pool and were thinking about how cold it was at home. One of the things we did while we were in Mexico was my sister, my mom, my grandma and me, got to swim with dolphins. The dolphin we swam with was a girl and her name was Freeda. She is eleven years old. We got to swim out into the middle of the pool and wait for her to come to us then we had to grab onto her fin and she would pull us back to where the rest of the group was. We also got to "dance" with them, which you really just hold onto their front fins and shake your body (they do most of the dancing). The last thing we did was we all went and sat on the edge of the pool and watch them do all kinds of jumps and flips, oh and I forgot to mention that there are actually about eight dolphins. I also went on a buggie tour. We went and drove through part of Mexico's desert and we got to go to an old town that only forty people live in. The last thing we did was we went snorkeling. My family and I got onto a catamaran and took a trip to a nearby beach and we snorkeled for an hour. All the fish were really colorful, my favorite fish is a parrot fish the swim so cool they flap their fins like wings! Well after we got to the hotel from snorkeling we had to go home the next day. But my trip to Mexico was awesome!
