What’s up ? and news from the States… :-0
Hi there !! 
How are you doing ? Sorry I haven’t written since you left the States
but times goes by so quickly! I hope everything is great for you in France.
The end of the summer was excellent! After your departure, I still had two more weeks vacation
before going back to school and… it was so cool!
You won’t believe this! I went to NYC for the first time with my family.
First, I wasn’t very happy to go on a family trip but actually it was the best family vacation ever!
We went to see the statue of liberty, it is huuuuuuuuuge! Then, we went up
the Empire State Building and we had the best view of the city from the top, I was so excited!
We went shopping on fifth avenue and hung around in Central Park. But what I liked the
most was the show we went to on Broadway, it was a musical BILLY ELLIOT , do you
Know the story of this teenager?
Unfortunately, I had to go back to school on September 1st. I was happy to see my friends again.
Oh! And guess what? Brandon and Britney are in my class again this year, it’s going to be a cool
year !!!!!( …maybe not for the teachers…lol) !
I promise I’ll write ASAP. Gotta go. CU!
I can’t wait to hear from you…BFN
DAVID
