My Travels in Ruritania
________________ to Ruritania? I have.
What a beautiful country. I ________________
there so many times, I ________________ count.
Where to start?
Well, the first time I ________________
there was in 2003. That was an interesting time. I ________________ many experiences in my
life, but nothing like that.
First of all, I ________________ swimming
in the beautiful lakes and rivers there.
I ________________ swimming in most of the lakes in Europe, but the
lakes in Ruritania were more beautiful than anything else I had ever seen
before.
Then, I ________________ the finest
food at the Ruritanian hotel. Now, when
I say it was the finest food, I know what I'm talking about. I________________ delicious food in every
country. I ________________ gourmet food in France, Italy, and Spain. But nothing was as good as the food I ________________
at Ruritania.
Oh, and I shouldn't
forget to tell you about the wonderful wine.
I ________________ the best wine
in Ruritania. I ________________ wine in all the great European cities, but
nothing like the wine I ________________ in Ruritania.
Also, I ________________ lots of interesting people in Ruritania. I ________________ the King, the Prince, the Queen, the Duke, and
the Duchess. It was amazing. I ________________ lots of people in my life,
but nobody as amazing as the Royal Court of Ruritania.
Also, the scenery was absolutely
beautiful. I should show you my
photographs. I ________________ all over
Europe, and I ________________ photos in every country I ________________ to. But
nothing was as beautiful as the photos I ________________ in Ruritania.
Lastly, there was the singing and
dancing. Now, I know people in every
country like music, but I ________________ music from all over the world, and none of it
could compare with the music I ________________ in Ruritania.
And I ________________ dancing
from all over the world, but the dancing I ________________ in Ruritania was
the absolute best.
My Travels in Ruritania
Have you ever been to
Ruritania? I have. What a beautiful country. I've been there so many times, I've
lost count. Where to start?
Well, the first time I went

First of all, I went swimming

Lastly, there was the singing and
dancing. Now, I know people in every

none of it could compare with the music I heard in Ruritania. And I've seen dancing from all over the
