Hi, Brandon!
How are you? I’m really fine. In this moment, I’m in a safari in Africa, and I’m
very excited because tomorrow I will visit the river Yangtze. It’s the longest
river in the world. The Amazon River is more wide than the River Nile, but
the Nile is shorter.
The Nile is important, but there are many other natural wonderfuls in Africa.
There is a very famous river, Kilimanjaro. In Africa you can visit the hottest
desert in the world, Atacama, and also the youngest mountain range,
Greenstone Barberton.
Next year I will go to Hawaii, where you can find the smallest volcano in the
world, Teide. I love Hawai because it’s in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
Best regards
