Carlota went to her village. The weather was sunny and hot. She swam in the lake! She said the water was OK. In my opinion, it was cold!
Sandra went to her village in Cazorla with her family. She went by car.The weather was good and she had a good time. She saw rabbits, sheep and horses.
Carlos stayed in his house in the village .He went with his family. He got there by car.
