Italy Postcard

Dear Anna,
     Anna~~ How are you doing in Hawaii? I heard you couldn't really get used to the school there. I hope you have a lot of friends by now!
     Yulina and I are in Europe right now. I'm really sorry and sad you and Ginny couldn't come, but we can go somewhere else together next time! We went around Italy today, and we're going to go to Croatia tomorrow.  
     One of the places we visited today was the Colosseum in Rome. The name "Colosseum" is from the Latin word "colosseus," meaning colossal(extremely large or great). This was in reference to the gigantic statue of Emperor Nero that was apparently 98 feet high! But it was destroyed a long time ago so we didn't get to see it. We also learned that this oval amphitheatre has an area of 24,000 square meters, with a height of 48 meters. Emperor Domitian added a gallery at the top of the Colosseum to increase the seating capacity, but that's also gone.
     I hope we can meet soon, Anna, we really miss you!!~ You should come to Taiwan and visit us someday! Yulina really wants to hear what you think about Hawaii. I'll be waiting until you come back home!
Byeee!~~ <3
                                       Love,
