MY
BEST
ADVENTURE
II
By

My
mom
and
I
are
still
traveling
in
Europe.
The
last
time
I
wrote
to
you,
we
still
had
9
months
to
go.
The
last
two
months
have
been
as
incredible
as
the
first
two!
I
have
so
many
thoughts
to
tell
you.
I
have
so
many
new
European
friends
-
this
place
is
awesome!
And
the
best
part
of
it
all
is
that
there
are
so
many
more
things
I
can
learn.
My
favorite
part
about
this
trip,
though,
is
that
I’m
happy
for
my
mom
that
she
is
doing
something
that
she
has
dreamed
about
all
her
life.
The
first
thing
I
want
to
tell
you
is
there
are
so
many
cute
boots
in
Europe!
Italy
and
Spain
are
filled
with
shops
of
fun
boots
and
other
cool
stuff.
They
even
sell
stuff
from
the
USA.
Oh,
and
back
to
the
boot
thing,
I
may
even
buy
some.
I
can’t
decide
whether
I
like
the
furry
ones
or
the
black
leather
ones.
Or
there
are
boots
with
shiny
decorations
on
the
outside.
There
are
too
many
to
choose
from.
My
mom
says
that
we
should
keep
looking
until
the
perfect
pair
show
up.
That
didn’t
happen
yet,
but
I’m
hopeful.
There
were
great
things
in
Italy
other
than
the
boots.
I
saw
beautiful
horses
and
ate
bread
with
delicious
dip.
The
owner
of
the
restaurant
even
let
me
go
into
the
kitchen
to
watch
him
make
it!
That
was
definitely
one
of
my
favorite
things.
We
may
even
get
to
go
back
there
so
I
can
have
some
more.
I’ll
be
REALLY
happy!
Of
course,
I
was
amazed
by
the
Duomo
in
Florence.
My
mom
and
I
climbed
to
the
top
of
the
dome.
There
were
SO
many
stairs
in
skinny
hallways
with
many
people.
At
the
top,
you
have
to
climb
this
very
steep
ladder
to
get
outside
where
you
can
see
the
whole
entire
city.
It
was
so
beautiful
that
my
mom
took
pictures
from
every
direction.
We
walked
around
the
outside
of
the
dome
a
couple
times
before
going
back
down
all
those
stairs.
We
traveled
from
Italy
to
Spain
on
every
kind
of
transportation,
except
a
boat.
Thankfully,
we
were
prepared
this
time
and
brought
food
for
our
long
trip.
The
last
time
we
took
a
long
trip,
we
didn’t
bring
any
food
and
the
trains
didn’t
have
any
food
either!
Granada
is
different
from
the
other
places
we’ve
been.
In
the
afternoons
everything
closes
for
people
to
eat
lunch
and
then
go
to
bed!
I
haven’t
taken
a
nap
since
I
was
little;
but
even
the
adults
take
naps
in
Spain.
Many
afternoons
when
everything
was
closed,
my
mom
and
I
would
walk
to
this
river
where
there
were
probably
one
hundred
cats.
Some
Spanish
people
told
me
that
the
river’s
nickname
is
the
River
of
the
Cats
because
ever
since
they
could
remember,
there
were
cats
living
there.
Throughout
the
city,
there
are
many
little
places
to
explore
and
every
place
we
went,
there
were
cats.
When
I’m
an
adult,
I
want
to
have
a
lot
of
cats
and
dogs.
In
Europe,
people
even
bring
their
dogs
into
the
stores
and
restaurants.
The
bad
part
is
that
the
dogs
go
number
two
right
on
the
sidewalk.
So
far,
I
haven’t
stepped
on
any!
You
can’t
even
believe
how
much
walking
we’ve
done.
Well
maybe
you
can,
but
I
can’t!
Some
days
we
even
walked
for
6
hours!
My
mom
doesn’t
like
to
take
the
bus
because
she
would
rather
walk.
She
says
that
there
are
so
many
things
that
you
don’t
see
when
you’re
on
the
bus
or
the
train.
I
think
you
see
everything,
but
you
just
see
it
a
lot
faster.
Even
though
I
would
rather
take
the
bus,
I’m
glad
my
mom
makes
us
walk
all
the
time
because
it’s
healthier.
In
fact,
I
like
to
race
my
mom
down
5
flights
of
stairs
while
she
takes
the
elevator.
I
always
beat
her
to
the
bottom
with
enough
time
to
hold
the
door
open
for
her.
My
mom
says
that
soon
we’ll
be
going
to
a
place
in
Italy
where
you
have
to
ride
in
a
boat
to
get
to
places
instead
of
driving
in
cars.
I
can’t
figure
out
what
that
will
look
like,
but
she
says
we’ll
be
getting
some
kind
of
ice
cream
there
too.
I
know
exactly
what
that
looks
like!
If
my
mom
will
let
me,
I’ll
eat
some
for
you
too.
I’m
having
a
great
time
and
can’t
wait
to
tell
you
more
great
things.
Ciao
for
now!
