Exchange Holidays

Dear Parents,

I am in Oxford now. I like the people here but the weather is terrible. Last weekend I was in
London with Emma and her parents, but there wasnt enough time to see everything I wanted.
The weather was fine so we walked along Oxford Street, looked at the shop-windows and
watched the changing of the Guarda t Buckingham Palace. We visited the Houses of Parliament,
Big Bem and Westmisnter Cathedral. We brunched in Hyde Park and relaxed there for a while.
Then we went to the Tower of London and we travelled on the red Buses, of course!
I liked everything very much!

Lots of love,
Marta
