Greetings from Madrid !
I can't believe I'm finally here! The trip from Hong Kong (be) long and tiring, but I made it. My hotel is nice and I am staying in a guesthouse in the central area of Madrid. I got a cheap and simple room, much (small) than my own room back home. It only has a small bed and shower, it is quite comfortable to stay in.
The weather here is wonderful. It's warm and sunny, clear blue skies every day. It's great for sightseeing, because there are a lot of things to see and do. I've found a friendly guide here and yesterday I (show) around the city. Tomorrow he will take (I) to Andalusia to visit the city of Granada. I can't wait (see) the Alhambra Palace and other places of interest. Also, I (real) want to try the food there - especially gazpacho, kind of cold soup which I hear is special, very different from anything else in Spain.
I'll bring you back some (present). See you next month!
Love, Jamie
