From: Anna
To: Rita

Hi Rita!
I’ve just got back from my first summer camp ever! Let me tell you all about it!
We went to a fantastic campsite in Coimbra, Portugal. Though we went to Portugal two years
ago, we stayed at a hotel. This year, we decided to do something different, thanks to my brother.
He’s a very experienced camper, and he persuaded us to have a camping holiday.
Anyway, I did some online research and discovered a great camp in Porto. Unfortunately, when
we called to reserve a spot, we found out that the place was full. That was good, though,
because we ended up in this magical place in Coimbra! I’ll show you the pictures when we meet
up.
See you soon,
Anna
