(Querido Mick:
Atenas es un ciudad maravillosa. El sol brilla casi todos los días y nunca llueve. La gente es muy
simpática y bastantes hablan inglés y otros idiomas. Me lo estoy pasando realmente bien aquí.
Estoy pasando una semana aquí con unos amigos del trabajo. Visitamos los lugares de la antigua Grecia.
Probablemente hayas visto el Partenón en televisión pero tiene una aspecto incluso más impresionante
de cerca. Está sobre una colina que domina la ciudad nueva.
En este momento estoy sentada junta a la piscina en el tejado del mi hotel. John está escribiendo una
postal a sus padres y Angela está leyendo una revista.
Como sabes, éste es un gran centro turístico. Cientos de extranjeros visitan Atenas todos los días.
Autobuses llenos de turistas americanos paran en la Plaza de la Constitución para ver a los soldados en
sus uniformes vistosos. Normalmente se quedan una hora y luego vuelven a sus autobuses y siguen para

Ahora te dejo ya que se acerca la hora de la comida. Te escribiré pronto.
