Dear 4A

 

The flight to my new location was long and an eventful journey. Upon my arrival I was taken back by the picturesque view of the Atlantic Ocean to the east. However, my enthusiasm was short lived when I realised I had to lug my baggage up a steep granite incline in the sapping outdoor heat. How I wish I were cooling off in country's Amazon River at that very moment!

During the flight I managed to be allocated a window seat where I could pear out at the landscape below. The mountainous terrain was a focal point of the scenery, which branches out right across the country. Deforestation seems to be a big business over here because it seems like everywhere you look rainforests are being chopped down. Lucky the country appears to have plenty of forestry at its disposal.

The streets are lined with children playing football, whilst onlookers cheer boisterously. It’s as though the game is a religion to the people. No words can describe the passion and enthusiasm they share for the sport.

I cannot wait to get my voyage underway and visit as many things as this country has to offer. 

 

 

Until next time, Ralph
