    Yo fui a San Francisco el marzo pasado para pasar las vacaciones de primavera. Fui con mi esposo para visitar a mi amiga, Erika. Fuimos a muchos restaurantes. Fuimos a varios parques, al centro, a Haight-Ashbury, y a Sausalito por ferry. También fuimos a Fisherman’s Wharf para escuchar los cantos de los lobos del mar. ¡Fueron unas vacaciones muy divertidas y memorables!
