Dear Sam,

I just wanted to tell you about our incredible trip to the remote Volcanic Isles! I’m really sorry you couldn’t come with us.

Once we arrived at the Great Crater camp, we met our guide and started climbing the volcano. Even though the path was steep and our equipment was heavy, we made it to the top and saw steam rising.
At one point, we spotted a dark volcanic iguana with bright yellow markings, and I took some great photos.
By the time we got back to camp, we were exhausted but really happy.

I wish you were there! I hope you can join us next time!

Take care,
Anna

I went on a trip to a waterfall with my family.
Our backpacks were very heavy, we carried all the equipment we needed. We finally found the waterfall, we were very tired. We took a break there. We were sitting near the river, my brother dropped his hat in the water.

Finished our break, we walked back to the car.
