13．Dear Linda，
How are things with you？It was nice talking to you yesterday by phone．
As I told you yesterday，I am in Rome，Italy today．Tomorrow we are taking a train down to the south of the country and then a ship across to Greece．Let me tell you something about where we have visited．I know you want to come here on vacation too one day!
We started in England and we spent two days in London and another day in Canterbury．We visited a lot of places and enjoyed its history．The people were friendly and the food was delicious．The only bad thing was the weather-it rained the whole time when we were in the country．
Then we got to Paris and the Sun was shining!We only stayed for one afternoon in the French capital because my friends really wanted to visit Euro Disney which is to the east of Paris．There，we met some nice people from Canada and spent two great days with them．One of them，Clive，is going to your university next year．What a coincidence!
Clive and his wife left us when we got to Germany by train．They went to Denmark，but we went to Munich．Wow-what a great city!I bought you a gift there．I hope you like it．
After that，we went south into Switzerland．It was very expensive and we couldn't stay as long as we wanted to，so that's why we're in Italy now!OK，that's enough from me for now．I want to post this letter now，so you will get it by the weekend．
Yours，
Mike
