Dragi prijatelj, Upam, da si dobro. Rad bi ti povedal novico. Lep pozdrav!


Naša destinacija je bil Bohinj, slikovito jezersko mesto ob vznožju Julijskih Alp. Ko smo prispeli, smo se odločili, da bomo najeli čolne in raziskali jezero. Sonce je sijalo na nebu, voda je bila kristalno čista, in vsak val nas je ziblje v mirno in sproščeno razpoloženje.

Ko smo se veslali po jezeru, smo opazili majhen otok na sredini. Bili smo radovedni in se odločili, da ga obiščemo. Ko smo prispeli na otok, smo odkrili staro cerkvico, obkroženo z bujnim zelenjem. Vstopili smo in v notranjosti naleteli na nepričakovano presenečenje - poroko!
Dragi prijatelj,  


Mladoporočenca sta naju povabila, da se pridruživa njuni slovesnosti. Bila je preprosta, a čudovita poroka, polna ljubezni in veselja. Zaplesali smo skupaj s preostalimi gosti in se pridružili praznovanju.
Upam, da si dobro. Včeraj sem imel zelo zanimiv dan in rad bi delil zate to novico. Lep pozdrav!


Po končani poroki smo se poslovili od mladoporočencev in se vrnili na kopno. Odšli smo na sprehod ob jezeru in se zahvalili za tako nepozabno izkušnjo. Čeprav smo bili le naključni obiskovalci, smo se počutili kot del nečesa posebnega.
==== Exercise 10: Write a Summary ====


To doživetje me je naučilo, da so najbolj čarobni trenutki pogosto tisti, ki se pojavijo nenadoma in brez pričakovanj. In tako sem spoznal, da je Slovenija dežela, polna skritih kotičkov, ki čakajo, da jih odkrijemo.
