Hi Bob,

I hope you are well. Last weekend, my family and I visited a camel farm. I was very excited because it

was the first time I rode a camel. Camels are amazing animals! It went a bit fast, but I wasn’t scared

at all. It was amazing! My brother had his camera with him, so he took a lot of pictures of me on the

camel. The ride lasted half an hour. We also tried some delicious dates there. I can’t wait to ride a

camel again!

Bye for now,

Tom
