1 to bed very late. So this has been a short email!
l'm in Amsterdam since two weeks and
everything goes well so far. 1already make a
lot of friends and everyone will be very nice.
Tomorrow.we went to Bruges for the day. They
said that it's a beautiful town, so l'm sure that it's
been a great trip.

Anyway, it was time' to go! l'm hoping that
everything goes fine for you.
Lots of love,
Val
