OK, now I'll talk about my winter vacation.

This winter vacation I spent two weeks in my hometown which is Daytona Beach, Florida.
It was wonderful.
The weather was warm every day.
It was sunny every day and the temperature was almost 80 degrees.
I visited my mother and I spent every morning having a nice leisurely cup of coffee and reading the newspaper and after that I got my bicycle out and and rode down to the beach and enjoyed the sun and the surf, ah, came back home and read a book and went to bed early.

I had a wonderful time.
I saw a couple of new movies, when I was home in Florida.
I saw The Aviator and also an interesting movie called Spanglish, which I hope you all can see because it's an interesting movie about English and the Spanish.
