Oh that sounds lovely! You should come here to cali, the weather is wonderful now!
Speaker 1
I think I would fit in there, I just changed my hair color to blue.
Speaker 2
That is so fun, do you have any interesting hobbies?

Speaker 2
Congrats! I just turned 30 myself. So what made you change your hair blue?
Speaker 1
Im just trying to hold onto the last of my youth.
Speaker 2
Ah people make a stigma about 29 and 30 but you are still young!
Speaker 1

I'm running late to a hair appointment getting ready for my birthday
Speaker 2
Oh how exciting, what are you getting done to your hair?
Speaker 1
Just a trim! How long have you lived in Cali by the way?
Speaker 2
Oh i'm sure it'll look great. I've been here my whole life so 30 years!
Speaker 1
I hope so. And wow! That's awesome. Do you ever think about moving?
Speaker 2
No I love the weather and beaches here way too much! Where do you live? 
Speaker 1
Indiana. Not a fan of the weather! Wish I could move to Cali. Maybe someday. Do you go to the beach often?
Speaker 2
Yes, I go to the beach everyday if I can! My daughter loves to swim and play in the sand
Speaker 1
Now that sounds fun! How old is your daughter?
Speaker 2
She's 5! She's so lucky getting to grow up so close to the beach, we live a fifteen minute walk away. When I was growing up we lived much further away!
Speaker 1
So cute. Definitely lucky! Do you ever surf or anything like that?
Speaker 2
I've tried before but I'm not very good at it! Have you surfed before?

Speaker 1
Im planning for spring break. I have a dress. My hair is blue. My birthday is next week. I will be turning 29. I have a new car. I have hair to style. I live in indiana. I want to live in California.
Speaker 2
I have a daughter. Daughter is 5.  I live in Cali for 30 years. I'm 30 years old. I go to the beach everyday; Live 15 min walk from the beach. Have surfed before, but not good at it.
Speaker 1
How was the beach today?  Was the weather nice?  
Speaker 2
It was great for most of the day, sunny and not too crowded.  My daughter built a big sandcastle.
Speaker 1
Aww that's great. I remember being young and loving the beach. There is endless entertainment paddling in the sea and playing with the sand. I'm so envious that you live near the beach!
Speaker 2
It’s great. I could imagine not being able to go the beach whenever I wanted.  I love walking and running along the water.  Do you ever take trips or vacations  to the beach? 
Speaker 1
Luckily I do have some family that live near the coast, so every couple of years I'll spend a couple of nights with them when I get time off work. I've just started trying to run actually, my stamina is terrible at the moment. Have you been running for long?
Speaker 2
That’s nice that you get to go to the coast and visit family at the same time.  I stared running in high school with track.  Now I just do it casually for exercise.  Your stamina will build up quick.
Speaker 1
I hope so, at the moment I feel like I need to stop for a break every few minutes! Naturally I'm more of a sprinter rather than a long distance runner, so I guess I just need to work at it. It's a great exercise to do though. Is running on the sand more difficult?
Speaker 2
Yes it is harder to run on the sand. It takes a lot more energy, but if you run on the sand that the edge of the water where it’s wet and harder, it’s a little easier.  How are your Spring break plans coming?
Speaker 1
Yea that makes sense. Well done for keeping up the running, it must be hard whilst also looking after a little one! My Spring break plans are on pause at the moment, I'm a bit stuck for what to do. I might go and stay with some friends in Europe but that might be an expensive trip! Do you have any trips lined up?
Speaker 2
It might not be too expensive if you have people you can stay with so you don’t have to pay for a hotel.  I don’t have any trips planned but I would love to go to Greece.
Speaker 1
I've never been to Greece before, are you interested in the history? I've heard that there are lots of amazing things to see there. I've only ever been to Italy in Europe but I loved it. 
Speaker 2
I love learning about the Greek mythology!  I went to Italy when I was younger.  The food was amazing!

I have a dress. My hair is blue. My birthday is next week. I will be turning 29. I have a new car. I have hair to style. I live in indiana. I want to live in California. I like going to the beach. I would love to live near the beach. I have family. I have a job. I visit family near the coast every couple of years. I recently started running for exercise. I don't have a lot of endurance. I prefer to sprint rather than run distance. I am looking forward to spring break. I want to visit friends in Europe for Spring Break.  I don't have a lot of money. I have never been to Greece. I have been to Italy. I loved Italy.
Speaker 2
I have a daughter. Daughter is 5.  I live in Cali for 30 years. I'm 30 years old. I go to the beach everyday; I live 15 min walk from the beach. Have surfed before, but not good at it. I like sunny weather. I love to walk and run by the ocean's water. I was in high school track. I have been running since high school. I exercise regularly. I don't have plans for spring break. I would love to take a trip to Greece. I love Greek Mythology. I have been to Italy. I love the food in Italy.
Speaker 1
I think I might go back to Italy instead of Greece for Spring Break. Talking to you about it reminded me how much I love Italy. Do you have any recommendations for a restaurant in Italy?
Speaker 2
That's awesome. Everyone also stereotypes the pizza or meatballs because it's Italy. But I recommend any restaurant that can make a good pasta. That is the key to a successful Italian restaurant. Are you going with your family?
Speaker 1
No, I'm travelling there alone, but I have friends from Europe that are going to meet up with me there. If I remember right, Northern and Southern Italian food are completely different. 
Speaker 2
Yes. While Southern Italian food is driven by the sea, Northern Italian food embraces the land. It really depends on what you prefer. What was your favourite part about Italy?
Speaker 1
The architecture. Seeing things that have been around for a thousand years was pretty amazing. I'm a big history buff, so it really appealed to me.
Speaker 2
Oh that's awesome. Did you major in History at school?
Speaker 1
No, but I took a history class or two before I dropped out. I read a lot about history, though, and watch a lot of documentaries on the History Channel. I guess that only place that would be better to visit to study history would be Greece. 
Speaker 2
Ah fair enough. What kind of history are you into? I really enjoy Greek mythology. I did a case study on Poseidon once.
Speaker 1
Really? I don't even know what a case study is. lol! Is that like a further in-depth study? Wasn't he God of the Sea or something like that?
Speaker 2
Yes, it is essentially a study based on a few accounts from all the way back in that time. I compiled that information and made a study on how he contributed to the aid of Zeus at the time. He is the God of the Sea, Earthquakes, and Horses.
Speaker 1
He's a busy guy! lol! I guess I haven't ever been able to get into Greek mythology because it's just that - mythology. Real historical accounts, people, and ruins have always fascinated me much more.
Speaker 2
Fair enough. I understand what you mean. I like the idea of superhuman powers. And I liked Poseidon because he had a cool trident. Is there any historical event that particularly interested you?

Speaker 1
How is your daughter doing? Have you tried sharing your love of Greek mythology with her?
Speaker 2
Hi there, hope you are wlll and managing to save up for your Italy trip?  Thank for asking about the Greek mythology study, we are doing very well. It helps because i am so passionate about it and hope to get to the Greek islands soon
Speaker 1
Yes I have been saving up for another trip to Italy! I can't wait. It's planned for next Spring. Do you have any plans to go back to Italy in the future?
Speaker 2
I would love to get back to Italy but need to save up and the hopeful priority is to Greece this year.  You have friends in Europe are you in contact to see what plans you can make?
Speaker 1
Yes I've been talking to them quite a bit so they know what's going on. I'll be staying with some of them while I'm over there. I have never been to Greece....I'd like to go though. Maybe I'll add it to my itinerary! Maybe we could plan to be in Greece at the same time?!
Speaker 2
That would be so good.  There is so much history and the roman statues i take my daughter to see in the museums and through our local resources is fab.  She is building up the passion which is lovely to see.  Have you still got your hair blue or has it grown out now?
Speaker 1
That's awesome! Maybe you can teach me a little about all the mythology. I think I've never liked it before only because I didn't understand it. My hair is back to being its natural brown - lol I'm being boring for the moment.
Speaker 2
Never boring you will keep styling it all sorts of interesting styles im sure.  Yes i would be lovely to be your guide for the day out in Greece.  Bring some decent walking boots and some sun cream, its a different heat out there but your tan is probably topped up with going to the beach each day.
Speaker 1
That's good advice! Thank you! I saw on the news Cali has been getting a lot of rain. Have you still been able to run on the beach each day?
Speaker 2
I've got very wet most days unfortunately but need to keep up with the exercise.  Been taking to the gym to keep dry.  When im not out in the surf of a morning first thing on the weekends, to avoid the crowds as you know im not too good at the surfing but its good fun. 
Speaker 1
That's great you've kept your routine though! I want to learn to surf someday!!!
Speaker 2
Lets do it!! Gives me a chance to check out your new car also.  Is it a sporty one?  Lots to catch up on but this has been fun hun
