Subject: Summer trip

Dear Peter,

We are having a great summer trip in Da Lat. This is a nice city. The weather is cool in the morning and quite cold at night. I really love this kind of weather. We rent a villa instead of staying in a hotel. It is big and a little bit scary because there are just a few people here. The view, however, is totally wonderful. There is a small garden with roses and I love it a lot. Wish you were here with us. You will love it for sure. We will go back to Ho Chi Minh City tomorrow. I miss Da Lat so much. How about your summer, Peter? I hope to hear from you soon.

From Viet Nam with love,

Huynh Nhi
