Hola Sara. El viernes es mi cumpleaños, y voy a tener una fiesta en mi casa a las 7:00 pm. Para llegar a mi casa, tienes que seguir derecho por la Avenida Hidalgo hasta la Calle Segunda. Luego das vuelta a la derecha. Sigues derecho dos cuadras y luego das vuelta a la izquierda en la Avenida Central. Mi casa está del lado izquierdo en la esquina de la Avenida Central y la Calle Primera. ¡Nos vemos el viernes!
