The Postcard
| Dear Jane:
I read your article about my trip in the newspaper. It was a very good article. I'm in Mexico right now and I come home tomorrow. I'm in a restaurant eating delicious Mexican food and drinking a margarita. The Mariachi band just started playing a song. After dinner I'm going to walk on the beach. I had a great trip but I'm a little tired. Tomorrow I'll sleep in my own bed. See you soon! Phil Andrews |
