Dear Rina,

I hope this letter let finds you and your family in the best of spirits. I am writing to express my happiness to hear from you after an year. I still cherish our friendship and can never forget the splendid time we had together in a vibrant city like Milan. I'm so thrilled to be invited to visit you in Sri Lanka which I'm looking forward to very much. As I've never been to Sri Lanka and have little idea about the weather and culture there, I would really appreciate your suggestions and tips.

I would like to bring some gifts for you and your family and wondering what might be appropriate! Could you please help me with this? To be honest, I have thought of buying a traditional Indian saree for your wife and an ethnic wear for your daughters. I am sure they would love it. However, it would be great if you can give me their sizes of clothing, and shades of colors they love, which will help me choose better.

I have booked tickets for February 16th 2020. What would be the weather like at that time of the year. Should I get some winter clothes ? what type of dresses would be suitable? I am very much excited to experience the weather and new culture for the first time. As you know our first meet was at a river rafting adventure, I love water sports! I am much enthralled to know if we could do some water activities there. Let me know if you've planned anything else for us. I am open to experience new things for you know both of us loving exploring which connected us.

Another important aspect I would like to know is about food. Although, I shared with you that I'm a vegetarian, don't be surprised to know that I have turned to be a Vegan. I have read a lot about animals and started loving them closely. This inspired me to strictly follow my diet and I enjoy my preferences. I hope that does not bother you . I will be carry some packed food from here. However, I do not mind eating a lot of vegetables and greens.

Can't wait to see you at the earliest!

Best wishes,
Priscilla
