Dear Mum,

My summer holiday in Mexico City has been perfect so far! I have already visited the National Palace but I haven't seen the Great Temple yet. Five days ago I walked around the Zocalo Square and it was great. Yesterday afternoon I watched a bullfight at the Plaza de Toros. I haven't bought souvenirs at the local market yet, so I would like to do it at the end of the week. Also, I have already tried the traditional Mexican food.

How is everyone at home? Have you done anything interesting lately? Did you like postcards that I sent you last week? I hope so.

Well, that's all for now. I miss you a lot.

All my love,

Leanne
