Dear Mom,
This is just a quick not to tell you how the holiday is going. We’re staying in a nice hotel in a quiet part of town, so you can imagine how we feel. As you know, this is a small city, and the people are very kind and friendly. We have had some good weather since we got here, so we are feeling very happy. We have seen some of the beautiful sights and a few museums, and we thought they were very impressive. Yesterday we decided to go for a swim, and we went to a nice beach where the water was blue and clean.
Last night we had delicious meal in a wonderful restaurant. The food and services are excellent. When the bill came, we could hardly believe it as it was so cheap.
As our hobbies are sightseeing and swimming, we enjoyed the holiday so much. Anyway, I’d better to stop, but I’ll write again soon.
