En español:

Hola Paul,

Te escribo para decirte que te visitaré a ti y a tu familia el próximo mes. Sé que viajar en avión sería la mejor
opción. Sin embargo, sabes que tengo miedo a volar, así que tomaré el tren. Será un viaje de 2 días, pero estoy
seguro de que valdrá la pena. Será increíble encontrarme contigo y Rachel después de 7 años.

Quiero ir a todos los sitios turísticos en Londres. He oído que la comida allí no es la mejor, pero voy a darle una
oportunidad. Podemos ir a la mejor discoteca porque todavía recuerdo que tú y tu esposa disfrutan bailar
mucho. Ahora que sé cocinar (Sorprendente, ¿no?), cocinaré platos alemanes y españoles para ustedes.

Como puedes ver, estoy emocionado de ir a Londres por primera vez. No puedo esperar…

Te veo el mes que viene.
