## Sightseeing

Some places you can visit are Camino a Santa Ana, which is a little road the most people run on for exercise, because cars rarely pass by there. There is also “El Tepehuaje” which is somewhat like a park. El Tepehuaje has many trees and it even has a soccer field for kids to enjoy and it also has a great view.
