Next summer, Im going to the United States to visit my friend Chris who lives in New York! I love travelling and seeing other places, so its going to be fantastic! :D I love cultural holidays, and its going to be a whole new experience for me. Im already planning my trip! For example, I love hamburgers so I have to eat some real American burgers. XD I also love art, so thats why Im going to visit the MOMA museum and the Metropolitan Art museum. The only problem is that Chris will be at Summer school (4 hours in the mornings). But since I dont like staying home, Im going to visit the city alone. Im going to the Central park because I really like nature. Im going to Broadway because I love musicals and shows. I also have to go the Empire State and the Statue of Liberty!!! :0) Im staying at Chriss house, so I dont have to buy food or other things. I love walking so I dont have to pay much for transportation ;) Wow, this is so fun! Chris says that NY is really OUTSTANDING! :O Well Jess, I hope your next holiday plans are great too!!! Im excited to hear from you soon. See you soon! Megan ___________________________________________________________________________________________ NOW write your email in your notebook!
