"After the beach my family and I went to the lighthouse.

"It was so tall, we had over 200 stairs to the very top.

"The staircase swivel in a circle all the way up.

"Once we made it to the top, i was able to see "all over the land.

"As soon as we made it back down the stairs, "we walked over to a coconut stand where "a gentlemen was selling fresh coconut drinks.

"With the straw, we tried and went.

"It was so good.

"Later we rode dune buggies.

"and I rode with my mind through the sand, it was so cool.

"We went up, we went up down and over the hills.

"Sand was everywhere, we had a lot of fun.

"After the dune buggies, we headed back to town.

"We walked around, stopping to listen to some live music "and watching dance performance in the streets.

"Everyone was having a good time "and the musicians put on a great show.
