Letter from August 4th.

Sender: Anastasia Lebedeva (me), Daytona Beach, Florida, USA

Recipient: Yulia Keda, Kazakhstan

Hello! Sorry I haven't written in a while. Everything is great here! Work is in full swing. The guys are fun, constantly joking and teasing each other. And our manager Jimmy is a real specimen for research. The manners and gestures—you should see them!

As for the weather, something strange has started happening. Florida is called the Sunshine State. Yeah, right! The rainy season started in August, so Daytona Beach has literally been drowning in daily afternoon downpours. Two umbrellas have already broken from the wind. We ride bikes to work, so all we can do is pedal faster to avoid getting soaked to the bone.

Now for the pleasant stuff. But...

Before all this there’s only one thing you should know....

Last weekend we flew to Nashville, Tennessee. The Creed concert was amazing! The emotions are off the charts. We loved it, and the photos turned out great too! The most interesting part is that they performed their best songs: starting with With arms wide open and ending with the new ones!

Of course, we still had time to see the city. Nashville is called the capital of country music. Musicians play in every diner here, and most locals wear cowboy hats and boots.

We decided to try some local food. We had a list of inexpensive diners beforehand. But honestly, we didn't really like it—they served us a dish with an interesting name, but brought us plain macaroni and cheese plus a glass of some strange liquid. But hey, it was a "local experience"!

That's how things are. Say hi to everyone for us! We miss you and look forward to meeting up.

P.S. We have one more amazing piece of news. But I won't tell you yet. I'll write in the next letter.
