My Hometown
Hey Carmen! So today I will tell you about my hometown. I live in San Mateo which is a suburb near San Francisco. San Mateo is pretty big, there are about 90, 000 people who live here I believe. The weather is mostly nice since we arent too close to San Francisco we get moderate warm weather, though right now it has been raining for what seems forever. I like living here most of the time because not a lot goes on. Some of your main areas are the towndown where you can go and watch movies and eat with your friends. We have the Hillsdale mall which is a shopping area with different stores. The area in which I live I like a lot because it is pretty central and anywhere I want to go in San Mateo only takes me either 5 to 10 minutes. Overall it is a nice place with a few parks here and there. The main parks most people go to are Baresford Park and Central Park. In San Mateo we are also very lucky to be a diverse city in which many cultures mix and form our city. I have lived here since I was five and have always felt it was a safe place and a place to meet a lot of interesting people. One of my favorite places in San Mateo has to be Coyote Point. There is a nice park to go eat your lunch and you can then go and look at animals afterwards. The ocean is not far away with the bay just at a far glance. San Mateo is what I would consider a true suburban city which takes you away from the city life.
