I would like to talk to you about one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen . I was born and raised there and now I visit it from time to time . My family moved to the city, so I only go back to see friends or to camp and fish .

I grew up in a small town called Antonito Co . It is surrounded by mountains . So camping is a big source of happiness in the valley . There are so many beautiful places to hike .

The town itself is very small . It is said that if you blink when you’re going through it, you’ll miss it . This has some truth in it considering the size of the town . We have one grocery store, a tiny post office , and a tiny bank. There are also a few gas stations , bars, some excellent restaurants , a small hospital and of course several schools . However , for clothing and shoes , you have to drive thirty miles to Alamosa to shop there .

Everyone in the town is nice and we all know each other . The crime rate is zero unless you count some weekend fights that break out because some people drink too much . The classes in school are small , so you get a lot of attention from the teacher .

You’re probably wondering why I don’t live there . Well, I can’t get a job there . A lot of the businesses are family-owned . And they never fire their employees. So the employees work there usually until they retire . Most people have to go to other places to get a job .
