 Dear Mom and Dad,

I wish you could come to Mexico soon because it is a nice place. When you come to Mexico you should bring shorts, T-shirts and maybe sandals if you can. BE CAREFUL when you drink the tap water because it can give you Montezuma's Revenge (which is diarrhea).

Mexico City is a great place to visit. It has more then 10 million people. Mexico has a lot of history like the Mayans, who lived in the Yucatan peninsula. When you get here we can go visit the Mayan ruins. The official language is Spanish, but don’t worry I know Spanish. Mexico's population is 92.2 million people. I will warn you now that the food is spicy, Here is a list of some of the food's #1 tacos, #2 fajitas, #3 fidoe soup, #4 quesaldias and #5 tacitos.

When you come to Mexico you should come in car because you might want to use a car to get around from place to place. I realize it is a long drive, so if you have to fly we can rent a car when you get here.

I can't wait to see you and I know you can't wait to be in this nice, sunny weather. Just think, no more snow for one whole year.

Love,
Joey

P.S. You won't use American money. You will use Pesos which is Mexican money. We can exchange the American money at the bank when you get here. I'm sending an example of what the money hear looks like.
