My Favorite Carnival Moments

I don't like the carnival so I spent my vacation out of town, in El Rodadero, Santa Marta. I don't like it because people go crazy and increase the rates of accidents and crimes.I think the carnival could show our culture without having exceeded in drink, celebrating a healthy way. My favorite moment was do snorkeling, traveling and spending time with my mom and my sister in some beaches near the rodadero, on a tour where I met new beaches and enjoy the view, sun and sea.
