Dear Mom and Dad,

Greetings from Maine where the water

is too cold for us to go swimming, but the
scenery is beautiful. We're having a great
time, and we've enjoyed every place that
we've visited. This week we're in Bar Harbor
which is a lovely island town. The place is
absolutely full of tourists! Tonight we're
going for a ride on a boat that will take us to
one of the nearby islands. Our friend James
who lives here has already taken us hiking
and to the Bar Harbor Music Festival. It's
been fun! That's it for now. We miss you.

Love, Sara and Eric
