It is due 4 July.
Dear Emily,
I arrived in Santiago, Chile, yesterday! I love it!
Today I’m going to visit La Moneda and after that, maybe
I’ll eat lunch in Plaza de Armas. I hope you can come visit!
If you come, you must have your passport, but you don’t
have to have a visa. You should bring plenty of warm
clothes, because it is very cold in Chile right now! You
shouldn’t carry too much cash, because it can be
dangerous in the big city. Tomorrow I am going to go to
Mercado Central for some authentic Chilean food. You
ought to try some Chilean seafood—it’s the best in the
world! I hope you’re doing well in the U.S.! See you soon!
Love, Brittany
