Dear Ann,
I am very glad to go to Mexico for my vacation. The food here is quite tasty and there is fresh fruit everywhere. I have tried several of the local specialties. A lot of food is too spicy for me but I am familiar with it now and I find it delicious. I had a wonderful baked fish last night. I have also visited many famous places and have gone on some excursions. It’s really interesting. It has been cold and rainy most of the time, but I don’t mind as long as I can enjoy a warm meal and a cup of coffee with some friends in a Mexican Cafe.
I wish you were here with me now. You will love it.
Love,Helen.
