Hi Martina,

How are things? I am very glad to read your last letter telling that you spent your holiday in Spain. Now I want to tell you about my holiday, too.

It was an exciting holiday. I spent the holiday with my family. We went to Huatulco, Iceland and New York. We chose those places since the climate and the tourist spots are different very much from the others.

In Huatulco, the climate is very hot because it is on the pacific coast. Completely different with Huatulco, Iceland has cold climate. There are many lands covered with ice. While in New York, the climate is between the other two.

For tourist objects, Huatulco and Iceland have fewer interesting places that can attract tourists compared to New York. We saw many beautiful places, like volcanos, geysers, etc. While in New York, there are many amazing skyscrapers buildings.

I hope we can visit them together on our next holiday, can’t we?

miss you much,

Virda
