Dear Family,
I hope you are fine. Around here everything is beautiful. The landscapes and people show us a beautiful country with a culture very different from ours. The beer is like water,there´s no place that didn´t sold it, even in the stadiums .At this time there is a lot of snow, is a wonderful thing indeed. The winters around here are not very good, due that it is the time where people get depressed more often by the fact that the days are shorter, for example, got to work in the morning and it was dark and left it and still was dark, imagine my laziness when I need to study in these conditions.

I´ll leave you, hoping that the holidays come back soon to see you. Germany is a beautiful country but there’s nothing more beautiful than to be with the family in the country that saw you grow.

Love, Maria Fernanda
