Hi Mum,

John and I are having a wonderful time here in Ireland. Every day we get up early and go for a long walk
in the country. When we return we usually have a very big Irish breakfast which normally consists of
two eggs, three slices of bacon, toast and jam. We usually order a cup of coffee after breakfast:
Colombian coffee, of course.

After breakfast we sometimes go swimming in the river. We often meet children who like to swim there.
They are very nice. At night we nearly always drink a few pints of Guinness in the pub’s bar before we go
to bed. We always sleep well after that, I can assure you.
