M: Hi, Sandy. I heard you’d been to the West Coast.
W: Yes, I was home yesterday.
M: Welcome back. How was your trip?
W: Terrific. I had a wonderful time. It was really nice to get away from the city for a while.
M: Where did you go first?
W: Los Angeles. We stayed there for a week.
M: What did you think of it?
W: It was all right. I liked it better than I had thought I would. It was very clean and spacious, and it had lots of trees. The problem was transportation. The bus service was terrible, and of course, they didn’t have a subway, so it was a little difficult to get around. We had to rent a car.
M: And what did you see?
W: Oh, the usual things. We took a drive around Hollywood and looked at the stars’ homes, and then we went to Universal Studios and Disneyland.
M: How did you like Disneyland?
W: It was great! We really enjoyed it. We took all the fides, some of them twice, and bad lots of fun. I felt just like a kid again.
M: Was the weather good?
W: Oh, yeah. It was nice and warm in Los Angeles and cool but comfortable in San Francisco.
M: Cool in San Francisco? That’s surprising.
W: Yeah, it surprised us a bit, too. We didn’t take any sweaters. But they say it’s always like that in August. Anyway, I just loved it. It’s probably the most beautiful town in the U.S. with all those hills, the bay, and those charming old Victorian houses.
M: So, you like it better than Los Angeles?
W: Oh, yes. There’s so much to see and do. And because it’s smaller than Los Angeles, it’s a lot easier to get around. There’re lots of buses and cable cars.
M: Well, I can’t wait to have a look with my own eyes.
