Dear Isabel,

How is your life going? How do you spend your summer? Did your parents send you to some course, or do you spend your time at the swimming pool? I went to the countryside to ride horses last week, but now I am traveling with my parents and my brother around Europe.

At present, we are in Spain. We stay at the hotel in a small town by the sea. It is very hot. We have been staying here for 10 days already and I am getting bored with this place. My parents want to travel and visit interesting places, but the weather is so hot and sunny that I can only go to the swimming pool or swim in the sea.

We have already been to Barcelona and many smaller towns on the south of Spain. These places are really charming. People in Spain are very friendly and open. They spend all evenings and nights singing and dancing. They are cheerful and open.

Tomorrow we are moving to France. On our way we are going to spend two days in a small village in Pyrenees. We will climb the mountains and visit some interesting places. Afterwards we will spend another two weeks in France. I promise to bring you some presents from Paris.

I hope you enjoy your summer. I will be back in the middle of August and I hope to meet you then.

With love

Me
