Slide 5 : Dear Michele,
I'm very excited to tell you I'm on the top of the Mount Emei. We are fine but very tired because we climbed last all night. You know there are many monkeys in the steep steps. One of the monkeys caught my bread and ran away. It frightened me very much. Fortunately, it just liked my bread, so that it didn't bite me. Of course the monkey is very interesting and very funny. I'll show you the photograph when I came back. BEST WISHES!
From,
Jack
Slide 6 : Dearest Michele,
The weather recently is very hot. This is a good time to start summer vacation. Hong Kong is my home town; this is a modern and thriving city. Even the population was crowded. It actually is a good place to visit. You can spend a low budget on your vacation. It provides a lot of fun in interesting entertainment, is a shopping paradise, fantastic nightlife, historical attractions and delight gourmet. You can spend a low price of food tasting from different countries. Also Hong Kong is a very convenient city. The public transport network is extensive. No exchange of money problems. Because we can use a travel card “Octopus card” which topped up at convenience stores all over Hong Kong. My house is not big, but enough to live in the three of us. Here is near the sea, a good living environment. We have lived for 26 years. This is fortunate, I can buy a house early is easier. If not, we cannot afford the skyrocketing property prices now. Welcome to Hong Kong. Hope to see you soon. Cheers, Candy Chan
Slide 7 : Hello Michèle,
I spent 10 days near Charm el cheich for diving.
It was impossible to find original postcards so, here is mine : Brigitte in the desert .......
The afternoon was free. One day I decided to ride a camel. Look at me. How happy I am in this photo, am I? After a walk of five minutes this "Devil' s creature" lost its rag! It went faster and faster until to the galop, yes! It did not obey its owner shouting behind. You can't imagine how scared I was! Screaming, lying on the back, sweaty hair in my nose and my hands clutching its coat trying to keep me on the top! Fortunately, another bedouin was able to stop it. Thanks God.
I miss you. See you in September.
Brigitte
Slide 8 : Hi Michele!
I am on holiday in the northern of France. We are driving on the region of Bretagne for a week. All is wonderful: towns, landscapes, food, people, sea… But the weather is cloudy and rainy most of the time.
Yesterday we went to Fréhel Cape. What a lovely place! Exceptionally the weather was fabulous and the view breathtaking. I sat at the end of the cape for a long while over the sea, and I feel like the queen of the world. I think I was her for a moment!! After, we had a picnic in the cliffs watching the spectacular sunset as hundreds of tourists did.
You can see a picture that Josep took when I was there, but it did not take the magical atmosphere where we were immersed. I whish you were there.
Anyway we will meet us in few days in Lectoure.
Love,
Josefina
