Hi Mum and Dad,
I hope this email finds you well. It's three weeks since I went to the US. I want to share some exciting news with you - I recently went on a trip to the Grand Canyon!
It was an absolutely incredible experience. The Grand Canyon is unlike anything I've ever seen before. The vastness and beauty of the canyon left me speechless. I hiked along the rim and marvelled at the breathtaking views. The colours and rock formations were truly impressive.
I also had the opportunity to take a helicopter ride over the canyon. It was a bit scary at first, but the panoramic views from above were absolutely stunning. I felt like I was flying among the eagles!
During my visit, I met some friendly fellow travellers who shared interesting stories and insights about the canyon. It was a great way to connect with people from different parts of the world.
I wish you both could have been there with me to experience this natural wonder. I took many photos, and I can't wait to show them to you when I return.
I hope you're doing well and I can't wait to hear from you. Take care!
Love,
Tony
