 204  Betsy: Yes, that’s partly true. They’re striped — white and black. The black sand is from the volcanoes and the white sand is from the Sahara desert. Helen: From the Sahara desert?! Betsy: Yes. The island’s in the Atlantic Ocean, near Africa. Helen: Oh, I didn’t realize that. So, it was pretty hot then? Betsy: It was fantastic. Warm enough to swim in January. Helen: So, you spent most of your time on the beach then? Betsy: No, I also went on lots of trips. One trip to the mountains was incredible. The views were unbelievable!!! I also visited a really beautiful zoo in the mountains. It specialized in wild birds which flew free. I’ve never seen anything like it before. Helen: Sounds marvelous. Are the mountains covered in snow at that time of the year? Betsy: It’s not cold enough for that. Helen: So, you’d recommend it as a holiday then? Betsy: Yes. Sure. It’s a tremendous place for a winter break. I’d recommend it any time. Helen: Oh, I forgot to ask. Do they speak Spanish there? Betsy: Yes, the natives of the island speak Spanish, but nearly everybody speaks some English and a lot of English people actually live there. They have holiday homes there.
