Driving Down South

B : Isn’t it great that there aren’t any classes on Monday? We have a three-day weekend! G : That’s right! Do you have any special plans? B : My family is taking a trip to Las Cruces. I’m really looking forward to it. Have you ever been there? G : No, but I’ve heard about it. Is it nice? B : Yes, there are so many things to see. The city is famous for its nuts. G : What kind of nuts? B : Pecans. There are many pecan trees growing in and around the city. G : I like pecans. How far away is Las Cruces from here? B : It only takes about four hours by car if you use the freeway and drive directly south. G : That certainly makes for an easy trip. When are you leaving? B : We’re going on Saturday morning. We’ll be back on Monday evening. G : Have a nice time! Bring me some pecans!
