A Hi Tony,
We’re having a great time in Paris, France. Today is
B 14th July. It’s Bastille Day and people are
celebrating it with parties and parades. They hang
flags everywhere and dress up. Right now, we’re
having a picnic in the park. It’s warm and sunny
here. Oh and guess what? There are fireworks at
midnight! I can’t wait to watch them.
See you soon,
Cheryl

Greetings from Moscow. It’s raining right now but Jane and I
are having a great time. People here are celebrating
C Maslenitsa to welcome the spring. There is folk music and
traditional dancing. Right now we are eating blini. These are
thin pancakes with butter. They are so tasty! OK, bye for
now. We’re going to see the burning of Lady Maslenitsa, the
symbol of winter.
How are all of you back home?
