After a rainy spring, what’s a good summer-vacation destination?

"Mexico City. I’ll be visiting there soon. It will be nice and sunny. I plan on touring the Mayan ruins; they’re ancient ruins that are gorgeous. I love Mexican food so I’ll be like a pig in shit. I find Mexican food delicious."

"Florence, Italy. The museums are awesome, and it has the best gelato in the world. I’ve been to Florence and had some Nutella gelato. It was fantastic. The Boboli Gardens are breathtaking. You can get lost in there for hours."


Bee Martin
counter clerk | South Philadelphia
"Amsterdam. The climate there is moderate. I know some German so I won’t have any problem navigating my way. I think it’s really cool that they allow open pot-smoking there, also open nudity. Plus, the city is extremely LGBT-friendly."

"Punta Cana. It’s in the Dominican Republic. The people are great. The environment is very exciting. It has a great beach [that’s] very refreshing. The food in Punta Cana is very good, especially the calamari."
