小美上星期六去西班牙旅游的时候生病了。西班牙的春天不太暖和，挺潮湿的，天气也很糟糕。小美去骑马和爬山。她该穿毛衣，可是小美觉得毛衣很难看，所以她天天要么穿裙子要么穿短裤，所以她感冒了。她流鼻涕和嗓子疼。她去药店买润喉片吃，可是还是很不舒服。

Last Saturday while Xiao Mei was traveling in Spain she got sick. Spring time in Spain is not too warm, rather humid, and the weather is very terrible. Xiaomei went horseback riding and hiking.
