Dear James,

I hope my message finds you very well.

As you well know, at the moment I am working as an editor for a magazine and the topic I want to

discuss is about the trips I have made and the activities I have done on these trips and of course
the

things I have not done yet.

To begin with, I would like to talk about how wonderful Colombia is, I would like to tell you that I

have been to the Eje Cafetero, where I have visited wonderful places like the Parque del Café and
I
have also been to the Valle del Cocora, another place that I would like to talk about is Cali It seems
to

me that the Cali accent is very nice, the times I have been there, I have tried to imitate that accent.

Lastly, I would like to talk about my hometown, Bogotá, visitors would be very happy here,
because

if you have not climbed a hill, you can go to Monserrate, if you have never seen a very tall tower,
you

can go to the Colpatria tower. And if you have not traveled in Transmilenio you can do it all on one

day.

I await your suggestions.

Cordially,

xxxxx
