Mexico

When I was 7 I went to Mexico. It was my first time leaving the country and I was more excited than ever! I got to skip the last day of school and go to Mexico was is better than that. Plus my mom packed my luggage for me! We took a plane and the ride seemed so long! Finally we arrived in Mexico. It was soo HOT!

I went to my room change into my swim suit and was off to the pool. We like owned the whole place we were almost the only people there. There is only one problem, I DIDN'T know how to swim! That's kinda big when you are in Mexico. I always hated swimming lessons. My parents told me if I learned to swim in Mexico I didn't have to go to lessons anymore. So I had a lifeguard teach me.

Besides learning how to swim I learned never to have your mom pack for you. My mom forgot to pack me underwear. For the whole week I had t live in my swim suit! I didn't have any underwear. I know crazy! Also I would always order rum fruit punch hold the rum. It was soo good. The best drink I have ever had. But the last day I got one and I said
" Mom this tastes gross!" She responded "Madi, you have been drinking this for a week and now its gross" Ends up, there was rum in the drink. INTERESTING right? It was a weird taste. :)

I feel that me going to Mexico impacted me a lot. First off, it showed me how other people live in different countries and it helped me with speaking Spanish. Second, I learned to swim in Mexico and you need to be able to have to swim. Also it was cool to just get away for a week and be able to go on a plane. Also it was cool to use other money besides dollars, we used pesos. I thought going to Mexico was amazing and i would go back any day of my life!
