Dear John,
It was great to hear from you! Sorry that I havent written you for so long but I was busy all this time.Great news about your visit to the Niagara Falls.
I want to tell to you about beautiful Lake Baikal. Baikal is the largest freshwater lake by volume in the world, containing roughly 20% of the world's unfrozen surface fresh water. Baikal is the world's deepest lake. It is considered among the world's clearest lakes and is considered the world's oldest lake. I never was on the lake Baikal but, I dream to visit this beautiful place. I have never gone rafting, I think it is a dangerous. I do not like extreme sports, I prefer quiet hobbies lake a reading or needlework.
Why we are going to Israel this summer ?What will you do when you arrive to Israel?Do you know anything about Jewish traditions?
Well, Id better go now as I have to do my homework.
Drop me a letter when you can.
Best wishes,
Mira
