Reading
Greetings from Buenos Aires! It’s really warm and sunny
here. I’m learning lots of Spanish and meeting lots of new
people. I’m staying with my grandparents. Their house is in
the city centre so it’s close to all the shops and restaurants.
The best thing that has happened so far is when we went
hiking in the Andes mountains. The views were beautiful.
See you soon.

Hello from New York – my favourite American city. I went

Hello from Edinburgh! I’m sitting outside the castle looking
at an amazing view of the city. Earlier we went for a walk in
the Old Town. It’s so pretty! We sat in a little café and had
tea and traditional Scottish cake. It was lovely. We also went
on a trip to Loch Ness last week – it’s a huge lake. Last
night we ate at the best fish and chip restaurant in the city!
See you soon
