Dear Sally,

Last holiday, my friends and I visited Ponorogo

in East Java. Ponorogo is a small city, but it is
very natural and beautiful. We spent the night at
a villa in Jetis. On the first day, we visited Prigi
southern beach. We watched the amazing views
of the sea and the white waves. We grilled fish
and had “Nasi Pecel” for lunch. On the second
day, we visited “Dongko” mountain resort.
