              This summer, we went to Goa on vacation to the beach. Usually, we go to Orange
              Beach, but this time it was to Destin. We had so much fun playing in the sand and
              waves, and sunbathing with new friends from Mumbai. We rode jet skis and kayaks
              together. The beach had a huge pool with a waterfall. The entire week was a pure joy.
