   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 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.
