Dear Alex,
Guess what! I am in Cancun, Mexico. It’s amazing here. Tomorrow, I am going to visit the world’s largest underwater sculpture park! I’ll put on some snorkeling gear and swim out to an underwater park full of life-size statues. There are hundreds of sculptures of people and animals. The sculptor made the statues to attract sea creatures and encourage coral to grow on them. I’ll definitely have a great time. I can’t wait!
See you,
Sam.
