Dear Mum and Dad,

Sorry I didn’t write before, but we are so busy! There are twenty of us in our group at the camp,

ten boys and ten girls, of all nationalities. We are divided into five teams of four. I am with Paul an

Australian boy, Greg a funny American boy who always wears a baseball cap, and my roommate,

whose name is Deb. She is a real wet blanket1 and never likes anything, so I call her Miss Grumpy.

A week ago, I started canoeing, but I was so bad at it that the instructor called me Miss

Catastrophe. Wasn’t that a coincidence? Last Tuesday I had my first windsurfing lesson but I just

couldn’t stay on the board. I kept falling2 into the water, but it was fun all the same!

On Wednesday we spent the evening in town. First we had an enormous pizza, then we saw a

terrifying horror film. It was great!

On Thursday I beat Deb at tennis, but it was easy because she’s an awfully bad player.

On Friday it rained all day, but we went for a walk anyway, so my boots got all muddy and it was

hard work cleaning them.

Love.

P.S. I’d like to send a postcard to Grandpa and Grandma. Can you e-mail back as soon as possible

and send me their address? Thanks !!!!
