　　Simon: Yes, I did.

　　Todd: OK, where did you go?

　　Simon: Well, I went to many places, but I have one memorable¹ 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 cacti².

　　Todd: Oh, OK. What are cacti?

　　Simon: Well, maybe you know what a cactus³ 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 dusk⁴. 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 prick⁵ myself on a cactus.

　　Todd: OK. Well, take me. I want to go, too.

　　Simon: OK.
