   Subject: Amazing Twins Day Festivall

   Hi Nick,
   My family and arrived on here hold the Twins Day Festival every year. It happens on the first weekend in August. It's the largest gathering for twins in the world. Thousands of twins come from different countries.
   Yesterday morning my twin sister and I joined the Double Take Parade, a parade of twins. We wore uniforms and walked together. Then we saw a Talent Show. It featured singing, dancing, comedy, and other things. I loved the performance by the twins from Korea the most.
   This morning we ran in the Fun Run. We didn't win but had a lot of fun. This afternoon we took photos with twins from other countries.
   This is one of the most exciting festivals I've been to.
   I'm getting sleepy, so bye for now.
   Best,
   Mark
