Dario: Look, here's the photo of us

rafting on the Colorado River last summer.

Mia: Oh yes. That was so frightening. I didn't really enjoy that - the raft went so fast! It was really dangerous.

Darlo: Well. I thought it was fantastic.

Mia: I preferred trekking in the Grand Canyon really.

Dario: Yes, that was fun. But a bit slow. And do you remember when we went on those bikes in the hills behind San Francisco?

Mia: Yes. I remember cycling up

the hills and through all those tunnels!

Dario: Yes. that was great.

Mia: Mm. I really enjoyed that. Do you think that was the best part of our trip?
