Puerto Rico !

      If I could visit anywhere in the United States, I would visit Puerto Rico. I would visit Puerto Rico because my Dad was born and raised there. To get to Puerto Rico, I would take a plane. It will approximately take three and a half hours to get there. Puerto Rico enjoys a year round summer temperatures, an average annual temperature of 80 degrees.

The peak of tourist season is between December and April, but this has more to do with the climate in U.S. than anything else. If I were to go to Puerto Rico, I would avoid going during this time because I don’t want there to be a lot of crowds. I would go in November. When I go I will need to bring a bathing suit, sunscreen, sandals, money, and I will definitely want to go out and but an underwater camera because the beaches are absolutely beautiful.

When I go to Puerto Rico, I expect to meet very nice people. My dad has told me though that it is very confusing to drive there because you sometimes drive in the middle lane. There is also a lot of trees and it is very mountainous. I hope one day soon I’ll be able to visit this beautiful country!
