 A. Clive and his wife left us once we got to Germany by train. They went up into Denmark but
we continued to Munich. Wow - what a great city. I bought you a surprise gift there. I hope
you like it.

B. As I told you yesterday, I am in Rome today. Tomorrow we are getting the train down into
the south of the country and then the ship across to Greece.

C. I paid nearly $200 for it but it looks magnificent and is made of real leather.

D. OK, that's enough from me for now. I want to post this letter now so you get it by the
weekend.

E. At least when we got to Paris, the sun was shining! We only stayed for one afternoon in the
French capital because my friends really wanted to visit Euro Disney which is to the east of
Paris.

F. I sent her a postcard last night. It had the Eiffel Tower on it, which she has always wanted to
visit. Now she can look at it on a postcard every day!

Dear Linda,

How are things with you? It was great talking to you yesterday by phone.

1B

I can't wait to arrive in Athens to see all that history. Let me tell you something about where we
have visited so far. I know you want to come here on vacation too one day!

We started in England and we spent two days in London and another day in Canterbury. We saw a
lot of great history and the only bad thing was the weather - it rained for the whole time we were
there. Can you believe it?

2E

Well, I have to say I prefer the American Disneyland. But we met some nice people from Canada
and spent two great days with them. One of them, Clive, is going to your university next year. How's
that for a coincidence!

3A

After that, we went south into Switzerland. It was very expensive and we couldn't stay as long as we
wanted to, so that's why we're in Italy now!

4D

See you soon,

Mike
