Unit 8 (I'll tidy up) lesson 5
Dear Kereem and Samira
We are having a busy week in Lebanon. On Sunday, we visited the caves at Jeita. They are enormous! There is a river in the caves.
On Monday, we went to a cedar forest in the mountain. It was beautiful. Cedar trees are very important in Lebanon. There is a cedar tree on the national flag.
On Tuesday, we went to Sidon. It is a city by the sea. Some of the buildings are very old. The castle in Sidon is about 800 years old.
On Wednesday, we visited Moussa Castle . A man called Moussa Abdel AlMaamari built the castle. It took sixty years to build! It looks like an old castle, but it’s a modern building.
We are excited about coming to see you. We’ll show you all of our photos!
Best Wishes
Aunt Muna, Uncle Hassan and Salma
