Our Easter vacation by Rosario (5th Grade) We arrived in the Port of Veracruz at midday on Saturday 15th. The first thing we did was drive to Boca del Rio, because we were all starving. We sat at a table with a view of the ocean and ate red snapper and listened to groups playing typical Veracruz music. After that we drove back, parked the car and walked along the Malecon looking at the handicrafts. Dad bought Mom a hammock because she’d always wanted one. Pancho and I spent a lot of time watching the ships. I think ports are very exciting!

The next morning Pancho and I wanted to go swimming so we all went to the beach at Punta Mocambo. I enjoyed swimming there -but I kept an eye out for sharks! That afternoon after another fish lunch, we went to the Aquarium. Did you know it’s the largest aquarium in Latin America? We saw every type of fish, barracudas, nurse sharks, and giant manta rays. There were sea turtles and manatees too. The highlight of the whole trip was swimming with the dolphins! You have to keep your legs really straight and the dolphins push you really fast.
