Dear James,

This vacation is wonderful. I arrived by ship to the island.

The island is beautiful and the weather is hot and sunny every day.

I took a long swim and then I sunbathed until noon. Next, I had lunch
at a tavern on the beach. Also, I met some boys from Romania and we
played volleyball with some of the local people. They are all very
friendly.

In addition, I loved the hotel because it is fantastic, very modern, and it Mr. James Hook
also has a pool. I liked the town, I walked around and took some photos.
Then, I went to Delos to visit the ancient ruins. 1128 West Fourth Avenue
