| Dear Lucy, Greetings from Greece! I’m having a lovely time here! I’m not doing much sightseeing. Every day I swim in the morning but today I’m just relaxing by the pool. What about you? Are you working hard? The weather is great here. The sun is shining. What’s the weather like with you? Is it raining? I hope it’s not too cold. I spend most of my evenings out. I often eat at local restaurants or go to a pub. Tonight, I’m going to a beach party. Come to Greece. It’s lovely and warm! Love, Rachel. |
