Greetings from Madrid,
I can't believe I'm finally here! The trip from Hong Kong (be) long and tiring, but I made it. My hotel is nice and I am staying in a guesthouse in the central area of Madrid. I got a cheap and simple room, much (small) than my own room back home. It only has a small bed and a shower,it is quite comfortable to stay in. The weather here is wonderful. It's warm and sunnyclear blue skies every day. It's great for sightseeing, because there are a lot of things to see and do. I've found a friendly guide here and yesterday I (show) around the city. Tomorrow he will take (I) to Andalusia to visit the city of Granada. I can't wait (see) the Alhambra Palace and other places of interest. Also, I (real) want to try the food there—especially gazpacho,kind of cold soup which I hear is special and very different from anything else in Spain.
I'll bring you back some (present). See you next month!
Love,
Jamie
