The writer is emailing from the library in Paris, France where they are visiting with their father. They describe the sunny hot weather and note that the people are very kind. They have been spending time seeing the beautiful restaurants and enormous Eiffel Tower while also diving along the coast, hitchhiking in different places, and meeting many people. While skating the writer had a great time but their father hurt his mouth after falling, though they plan to go cycling later and may visit the swimming pool tomorrow.
