To: Jemma
From: Monica
Subject: Holiday time

Hi Jemma, I hope you're OK. We're having a wonderful time here in Mexico. Last week, we were in Mexico City. It's a really amazing city and there is a lot to do there. We didn't stay in a hotel because Mike has a friend, Jorge, who lives there. He lives in a big house outside the city. We stayed with him and his family. He is married, and he has three children and two dogs. It was great fun. Marisol, Jorge's wife, loves cooking. She cooked dinner for us on the first night and it was fantastic.

When we were in Mexico City, we travelled by bus. It was very cheap and easy to use them. We visited a lot of interesting places, but my favourite was the Frida Kahlo Museum. She was a famous artist and you can see a lot of her paintings in the museum. I loved it.

Yesterday, we left Mexico City and got a plane to Acapulco. Here we're staying in a small hotel. It's lovely. There's a balcony and we have fantastic views. The hotel is near a beautiful beach. Mike rented a car, so we can visit different places. Last night, after we checked into the hotel, we walked down to the beach and had dinner at a nice restaurant. I really like eating Mexican food.

At the moment, Mike is swimming in the hotel's swimming pool. I'm sitting in our room watching TV and writing emails. I'm sending you some photos of the holiday. In the first one, you can see us arriving at Jorge's house in Mexico City. The second photo is me dancing last night! And the third photo is Mike relaxing next to the swimming pool this morning.

I'm missing you all.
Love,
Monica
