Hi everyone! Thanks for all your thoughts on my

previous blog post. I loved reading all your comments.
I’ve got some great news! My friend, Alice, and I have
just booked our summer holiday.
We’re going to Mexico to take part in a coastal
conservation volunteer programme. We’re leaving on
the 1st August and we’re going to stay there for three
weeks! I think it’ll be an unforgettable experience. We
arrive at Guadalajara International Airport early in the
morning and then we are going to leave for the town of
Guyutlán by bus. It’s about a four-hour drive from the
airport. However, I don’t mind as we’ll be able to look at
the view on our way there.
During the programme, we are going to help with the
conservation of the sea turtles and crocodiles. We’re
going to help protect the turtle nests and study the
behaviour of other wildlife. But that’s not all! We’re also
going to have two hours of Spanish lessons every day.
It’s going to be hard work! At the weekends, we don’t
have to work and can enjoy ourselves at the beach. I
can’t wait! I will tell you all about it when I get home
