Hi! My name is Fiona and I am 8 years old. I want to tell you about my trip to a place called Carmel-by-the-Sea. It's a small town in California where a famous actor named Clint Eastwood used to live and even became the mayor!

My family and I visited a really cool place there called the Mission Ranch. It's a hotel now, but Clint Eastwood saved it from being torn down. It has old buildings and a big grassy field with sheep! I saw the sheep and thought they were so cute. We also had lunch there, and the food was yummy. I felt like I was in a movie because everything looked so nice.

We walked around the town after that and saw many art galleries and shops. There's even a beach nearby where we played in the sand. I had so much fun and learned a lot about Clint Eastwood. If you ever go to Carmel-by-the-Sea, you should visit the Mission Ranch too!
