Text 3:
Dear Grandma and Grandpa,
Thank you both for the wonderful wedding present. Both Jill and i have always
wanted to go to France and visit the many museums. We were so shocked when we
first saw the airplane tickets that we almost fainted! It was more than we could have
hoped to receive airplane tickets to France as a wedding present! Paris is wonderful!
The only trouble is trying to decide where to go. I want to go to the museums, but Jill
wants to see some of the beautiful traditional churches. In the end, we decided to see
the churches in the morning (when the weather is cool), and the museums in the
afternoon (because they're air conditioned). This allows us to get the most sightseeing
done during our two week stay. There are many coffee shops, too. Jill likes sitting
outside and watching people, but I like sitting inside where i can enjoy the smell of the
coffee. French coffees are so much more aromatic and stronger than the coffee we are
used to back home. Thanks again for the lovely trip! We sent you a postcard, but I
think we will arrive back home before you get it. It is a picture of the Eiffel Tower.
Love,
Freddy and Jill
