Dear Sonia,

How are you? I haven't written for a few days because I've been really busy visiting the worldwide known Niagara Falls. You should come here one day. It is an amazing place of extraordinary beauty that I will never forget. In fact, after this wonderful experience, I might come back here in the future.

Apart from the Falls itself, there are a lot of attractions in the area: restaurants, hotels, casinos, shops... Families with children don't have to worry about taking them. There are a lot of attractions for kids such as Clifton Hill Attractions, or Fallsview Indoor Waterpark. Couples, for example, could enjoy a romantic dinner in fantastic restaurants overlooking the Falls.

It was full of people when I was there so it must be crowded in August. I think that the best time to come is probably spring. But for people who come in winter, there are also other attractions such as the Winter Festival of Lights.

I went on a boat called Maid of the Mist and it was fantastic! You have to wear a kind of blue raincoat they give you in order not to get wet, and you can take great pictures from the boat because it's the best view you can get.

Anyway, how is granddad? Mum told me a few days ago that he had a bad cold. He definitely must stop smoking.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Take care,

Paco
