Hello Rory,

 I haven't heard from you for ages. What have you been up to?   (1) ………………….I just finished my skysurfing course! I know, it's crazy, right? Well, Dylan informed me about this course, and it sounded really interesting. He said that it was the most enjoyable activity he had ever tried, and I totally agree.

 The course was only for three weeks. Not very long, right? ………I paid only €155. What's more, you don't have to bring anything with you; they have the equipment and everything you need there. The best part is that you don't need any experience. That worked well for me because I had never been on a plane before in my life! The instructors were very good and really experienced……. At the end of the course, you get a DVD of yourself skysurfing!

Anyway, if you want to attend the course too, let me know. If you sign up, ………

Yours,

Victor
