Dear Sally,
Last holiday, my friends and I visited Ponorogo in East Java. Ponorogo is a small city, but it is
very natural and beautiful. We spent the night at a villa in Jetis. On the first day, we visited Prigi
southern beach. We watched the amazing views of the sea and the white waves. We grilled fish
and had “Nasi Pecel” for lunch. On the second day, we visited “Dongko” mountain resort. There
were a lot of plants, especially clove trees. We camped there for a night. I love Ponorogo because
the people are very friendly and the prices are cheap.
I’II bring some pictures for you.
Love,
Anna

in the heaven. After some time, when his wife was looking for lice Lahilote’s head, she
happened to see some garying hairs among his. Soon she sprang up and got away from her
startled husband. She told him that no one with graying hair is allowed to stay in heaven. Upon
his questions, she told her husband: “Love fades away when you get a graying because here in
heaven you are no more than a shadow as soon as you get a piece of graying hair.” Broken-
heartedly, Lahilote got down from the heaven making use of a piece of board. He swore: “From

Outdoors Song
by: Jason Mraz

And I’ve got the feeling
I’m trapped between the walls
And underneath the ceiling
I feel a bit off track
And I’m trying to get back
Back in the cool, cool air
where the sun is shinning
Nothing’s going to stop me
It’s all in the timing
It’s finally again my turn
It’s time to return
