MY VACATION

 TODAY IS SUNDAY.

TOMORROW I´LL COME BACK TO MY JOB AND MY STUDIES.

IT´S SO SAD…

WELL, I´M SO TIRED YET…

ON MY VACATION, I WENT TO MY AUNT´S HOUSE. SHE LIVES IN SANTA CATARINA. THAT´S A BEAUTIFUL CITY!

I LOVED SANTA CATARINA, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO GONE TO ANOTHER PLACE THIS YEAR.

I DIDN´T HAVE MANY MONEY, SO I DON´T HAVE CHOICE.

HOWEVER, I REALLY NEEDED A REST. I JUST NEEDED TO GO OUT OF THIS PLACE.

YOU KNOW: SEE OTHER PEOPLE, GO TO NEW PLACES, MAKE NEW FRIENDS, ETC.

NOW I WOULDN´T LIKE TO COME BACK!

IF I COULD, I WOULD TRAVEL MORE! AND MORE!

WELL, I SAW MY FAMILY AND MY OLD FRIENDS.AND THAT´S NICE!

ON NEXT YEAR I WANT TO GO TO A DIFFERENT PLACE. MAYBE, ARGENTINA! WHO KNOWS?

IT WOULD BE SO AMAZING!

DON´T YOU THINK.
