Dear Family,

​

Everything has been so much fun here in the US. I am sorry that it has taken me so long to write. When we arrived yesterday, we immediately went to our hotel in New York City, took showers, and began our sightseeing trip! We saw the Statue of Liberty, Wall Street, and Times Square, all in just one day.

​

Unfortunately, we could only spend that one day in New York because we had to take the train to see the Niagara Falls. I am riding the train now as I write. We should arrive in a few hours. I think we’ll go straight to bed as it will be past midnight when we arrive.

​

After Niagara Falls, we’re going to visit Toronto in Canada as it is only a little further north. I’ve never been to Canada, so that will be exciting. From Toronto, we’re going to take a flight to Los Angeles. That’s where we’re going to stay for the rest of the trip. I think Sam wants to go to Disneyland, so I’m sure we’ll do that. And of course, we’re going to surf in the Pacific Ocean!

​

I will try to write again soon, but we are doing so much that I can’t make any promises. Take care.

​

We love you both,

Francis and Sam​
