Dear Laura:

You're probably wondering why I'm writing this letter so hurriedly. My trip to Europe has been a real treasure. Yesterday, I boarded a train for the southern area of Germany. Ever since we crossed the Rhine River, it's been a series of rolling hills and breath-taking views. The Bavarian Forest is right out of a fairy tale. Tomorrow we head for Switzerland. Can't wait for the roller coaster journey across the Alps. Well, I'd better get this card in the mail. See you in Ireland!

Sincerely yours,

Roland
