Read and translate the postcard

Dear Mom and Dad,   I hope you are well. We’re staying at a lovely hotel near the beach. We get up late every day and have a large breakfast. Then we lie around all morning, swimming and reading. After lunch – siesta! Then it’s more swimming and a late supper. Paradise! Tomorrow we’re going to Isla Mujeres. The Mediterranean Sea is wonderful and the weather hot.   See you soon,   Love Mary
