My Dear Mother and Father,

I arrived to Barcelona two days ago and I already started to like this city. It is really very warm here and all people at the camp have great fun. We live in a small hotel by the sea side. We spend most time walking the city. Tomorrow we are going to swim in the sea.

I saw many interesting things here. In Barcelona there is the biggest aquarium in Europe. One can see all kinds of animals living in the seas and oceans there. The corridors are under the water, almost inside the basins. I saw a shark swimming just over my head.

Moreover, we went to see the Olympic stadium, where the Olympic Games in 1996 took place. It is really very big. We also saw many churches- I liked the church called La Sagrada Familia. It has been built for many years, is not yet finished and it is very original.

Spanish people are very friendly and nice. They are open and talkative. In the evenings all of them go out, play music and dance.

Next week we are going to start learning Spanish.

I feel really fine. We get quite good food and the teachers here are really nice.

I hope that you do not worry about me too much. See you next month.

Love

Ann
