My Favorite Summer Vacation

        My favorite summer vacations were the ones I took to Guanacaste when I was little. My grandmother created a tradition of gathering the whole family at her house during the holidays. Currently, this tradition was lost because my grandmother passed away, however, these holidays were my favorites and significant for different reasons. First, family time, because the whole family lives in different parts of the country and during the year we do not see each other, so during these summer dates I had the opportunity to see my grandparents, uncles and cousins, in one place and at the same time. Second, Guanacaste has a hot climate but ideal for different walks and family activities, so we take advantage of it to visit beaches, do outdoor activities and take adventure tours. Lastly, the traditional food of Guanacaste definitely made these summer vacations my favorites because my grandmother always had tortillas, rosquillas, tanelas, purple corn atol and the famous chicheme prepared for us to drink. As a sum up, sharing with family, taking walks together and enjoying traditional Guanacaste foods was what I enjoyed most about these summer vacations and that is why they were my favorites.
