dear aunt Taima,

Lake Azure is a beautiful place to hike. 2The lake is as blue as the sky
in Montana. 3Palm trees line the lake trail. 4Tomorrow we will hike up the
other side of the lake. 5Then we’ll set up camp on Mount Rocky and stay
for a few days. 6I’ll be back next Sunday. 7Don’t forget to pick me up at 6:00
p.m. in front of the school.
Love
Nita
