Todd: Simon, when you were younger, did you take vacations with your family?
Simon: Yes, I did.
Todd: OK, where did you go?
Simon: Well, I went to many places, but I have one memorable 1 experience. I went to Baja, California.
Todd: Baja, California. Nice. Can you explain where Baja, California is?
Simon: Actually, it's not in California. It's south of California. It's in Mexico, and it's on the west side of Mexico, below California, of course, and it's a desert surrounded by beautiful ocean. Todd: Oh, sounds good. Sounds nice. What's the landscape like?
Simon: Dry, dusty, and beautiful.
Todd: So it's a desert?
Simon: Yeah, it's a desert with lots of cacti 2.
Todd: Oh, OK. What are cacti?
Simon: Well, maybe you know what a cactus 3 is. It's a, you know, the desert plant from Cowboy movies, and it has needles which stick and hurt and it's green, but yeah. That's about it and beautiful blue waters.
Todd: You mean water from the ocean.
Simon: Water from the ocean. There's no water on the land. You know, there's no lakes, probably no rivers, just dust, yeah!
Todd: How did you get there?
Simon: I drove.
Todd: You drove?
Simon: Yeah! We drove. I didn't drive. I was too young but my parents drove. Baja is very long. It's about 2,000 miles, or 2,000 kilometers and we drove.
Todd: What do you remember most about your trip?
Simon: Well, I remember the color of the water, the white sandy beaches, and the desert at dusk 4. It's a pretty cool place, you know.
Todd: How long did you stay for your vacation?
Simon: 6 weeks.
Todd: 6 weeks. That's a long time.
Simon: Yeah, well, my parents were a little bit different from other parents.
Todd: Sounds like a really good time. So do you plan to back to Baja sometime?
Simon: I hope so. Yeah. But I won't prick 5 myself on a cactus.
Todd: OK. Well, take me. I want to go, too.
Simon: OK.
