Hi Lucía!

How's the tan coming along? Or have you stayed pale and interesting like me?

"Piedras" can be translated as stones or pebbles. The small, smooth ones that you find on the beach are pebbles.

Sandcastles are what you build on the beach using a bucket and spade.

I had to look up skin-diving. As far as I understand, it's the same as scuba-diving. Do you know what skinny dipping is?

Why would you take binoculars with you on holiday? Are you a birdwatcher as well?
