To: carlalrac@ns.com From: sallas@ns.com Subject: Madrid!

Hi Carla!

Today I got up at seven thirty because I was very excited about being in Madrid. I
woke my parents and we had a big breakfast. We left the hotel at half past nine and
took an open-top bus around the city. I was taking a lot of photos when it started to
rain. We got off the bus and went to a nice restaurant. We had paella for lunch. It was
delicious! Then we went to the Prado Museum and saw the paintings. My favorite
painter was Velazquez. After that we went back to the hotel and had a shower. This
evening we’re going to see a flamenco show. I think I’ll stay out really late tonight. I l
love Madrid!

I really admire Jiri Jezek. He’s a top cyclist and has represented his country, the Czech
Republic, in competitions all over the world. Jiri is a special athlete, because he has a
disability. Jiri lost a leg in a car accident when he was 11. He started to cycle seriously
when he was 18, and he began to compete in cycling races at 20. He’s been a
Paralympic champion twice, at Sydney 2000 and Athens 2004. He’s formed his own
team now, and he spends most of his time training. Jiri cycles more than 25,000
kilometers a year. He’s been successful in almost all cycling disciplines, from the track
to road racing and from mountain biking to cyclo-cross. He’s a great inspiration to many
people around the world and an extraordinary example of courage and perseverance.
