My trip to Irotama

lunes, 20 de julio de 2009


To the students of the B.A.A program, second semester C:

This is an example of a short description of a vacation that you can follow.








It is always nice to have the chance to share great moments with people you like to be with, and especially in places you will keep in mind forever.
A few months ago Colombo teachers went to Irotama to spend an amazing day off and enjoy the beauty of the sea in Santa Marta. Irotama is a well-known resort that offers comfortable huts, a huge swimming pool, delicious food, and sport facilities. This quiet place lets you feel relaxed-something you really deserve after an exhausting week.
My group and I really took advantage of this trip. As soon as we arrived there, we put on our bathing suits and lots of sunscreen, and took a dip in the sea. We also lay on the sand to get a suntan, chatted, laughed and enjoyed ourselves until it was time to have lunch. Then we had a cup of tea right before taking a nap.
If you really want to have a different vacation, you should go to Irotama. It's interesting to get to know such a calm place, with no vendors bothering you; a totally safe hotel where you can spend unforgettable moments.
