Dear Tom and Jane,
I’m thrilled to be here in Bucksport, a cosy little town in the state of Maine. The weather is chilly and snowy. Helen and I are staying at our friend George Hurley’s house. The Hurleys are very kind people, and right now, we’re enjoying a hot cup of tea while taking in the fantastic view of the harbour. Mrs Hurley, our friend’s mum, is baking some brownies for us—they’re a favourite treat around here!
Bucksport is a peaceful, coastal town at the end of Penobscot Bay. Visitors love the view of Fort Knox, which stands proudly across the bay. Most people here work in the local paper mill, the International Paper Company, or run their own small businesses. The locals are warm, welcoming, and love to chat. They’re also really into sports! They often go skiing, sailing, and play golf, basketball, or tennis. When they’re not playing sports, they like taking relaxing walks along the mile-long marina.
Bucksport is a unique place to visit, and I feel so happy here. I’m not ready to leave this peaceful spot.
Love,
Nick
