Hi, Susan.
We’re having a wonderful time in Australia. We arrived in Melbourne last week and stayed there for two days. On the first day, we went to Royal Botanic Gardens. Visiting Botanic Gardens is the best free thing to do in Melbourne. There are more than 8500 species of plants here. In the summer, there are also live performances in the Gardens. On the next day, we visited Royal Exhibition building. It’s one of the oldest places in Melbourne. We arrived in Sydney yesterday morning. The city was so nice in the sunshine. We sat in a café by the river and had lunch. Sydney is more exciting than Melbourne, but it is noisier and more expensive. Melbourne is smaller, but it has a lot of lovely old buildings and great restaurants. That’s why I prefer Melbourne.
Wish you were here.
Jennifer.

I have arrived in (1) the USA last Monday. We left (2) W Rome, flew over the Alps, and made (3) a quick stop in London. There we went shopping at (4) W Harrods, visited the Tower, and enjoyed (5) a sunny afternoon in (6) W Hyde Park. On (7) the following day, we left for New York.

Before we landed at (11) W JFK airport, we saw (12) the Statue of Liberty, (13) W Ellis Island, and the Empire State Building.
