MY EXPERIENCE: I WENT ON A ROAD TRIP TO A TOWN

 Last Holy week, I go on a road trip with my family. The main reason we
traveled was to visit relatives and clear ourselves a little bit, we went by car,
and then we took a bus. When we arrived we settled in the hotel, the next
day we visited our relatives, and carried out other activities (such as: we
went to a ravine, we visited a viewpoint, we ate and drank, desserts, drinks
and traditional and ancestral food, and we rested in the hotel). Our trip
lasted 6 days, since we had to return to resume our daily activities.

 What = I went on a road trip.


 When = My trip was in holy week.
 How = I went by car.
 Who = I went with my family.
 Why = Because I wanted to clear my head and visit my family.
 How long = My trip lasted 6 days.
 What did you do = I went to a ravine (quebrada), visited my family, ate traditional
food and desserts, visited a viewpoint, and rested at the hotel.
