Lesson3
Dear Ichi,
Thank
you for your third message. My comments follow.
On Saturday, I walked five K. It is a big walk held every year in June in Washington DC.
The weather was cool. I was lucky!!!
The walk raises money for breast cancer research.
Here is a link: http://ww5.komen.org/KomenNewsArticle.aspx?id=19327353023
There are no photos of the walk. We took a few. I will see if I can post them.
My sister, my daughter and my daughter's friend walked.
Sincerely,
Prof.
Sue Garreis
