Greetings from the UK

Dear Pam,

On our first day here, we went sightseeing. I saw the famous London Bridge and
Big Ben. I wanted to buy (1) ______________ as a souvenir, but I couldn’t find

Well, there’s (13) _________________ I’d like more than to chat with you a bit, but
I have to get going. Today we’re travelling to Scotland to continue our holiday
