Ricardo: Hi, Sarah! Are you staying in the city this weekend?

Sarah: No way, Ricardo. I’m heading to a small guest house in Paraty. I need to get away from the city heat.

Ricardo: That sounds amazing. Are you taking your laptop with you?

Sarah: Actually, yes. I have a big project to finish, so I’m working on Friday morning from the balcony, and then I’m turning off my phone for the rest of the weekend.

Ricardo: Good for you! I'm staying here because I have to catch up on some reports, but I'm planning to visit the local park to see the sunset.

Sarah: That's a good plan too. Don't forget your sunscreen!
