Dear Georgia,

I'm writing to you from my hotel room in Stockholm. I'm having a wonderful time here, but you can't imagine what happened to me yesterday! I was walking down the street taking photos when all of a sudden, it started to rain.

Unfortunately, I didn't have an umbrella with me so I decided to go back to the hotel. As I was running, I slipped and fell on the pavement. Luckily, I wasn't hurt, but I broke my camera. Now, I have to buy a new one! See you soon.
