Hi Chris,
How are you doing? I’m happy that your new job is
going well (You have to tell me all about it!) and super
excited that you’re coming to my town for a few days. I
really look forward to showing you around.

During the week it’d be easier to stay closer to your

accommodation. There are a bunch of great
restaurants and bars we could check out. I mean you
are a foodie after all, so I know you’d appreciate some
of my favourites as well. Apart from that, we have to
try this new whiskey bar that some of my mates have been raving about, but I
haven’t been there myself so it’d be nice to go together. What do you think?

At the weekend we can try and get away from the hussle and bussleand explore the
mountains and go for a nice hike if you fancy. There are plenty of trails around town
so let me know if you are up for an adventure and I’ll figure out where exactly we can
go. How about visiting Crystal Falls or Parker Bridge, the longest suspension bridge
around here with some beautiful views? It might not be too crazy in terms of crowds
around this time of the year so you can get some piece and quiet before heading back
home.
Well, those are my ideas. Why don’t you think about it and let me know what you’re
most into? I’m sure it’s going to be a ton of fun!
Talk to you soon,
Phill
