Directions: Read James's postcard to his brother David

Dear David, I'm having a great time in New York. It's a very exciting city and there's a lot to do. Do you remember my friend Steve? He lives here with his girlfriend, Andrea. She's a stockbroker, and she's really wonderful. Tomorrow is their anniversary. They met one year ago. Steve's going to take her out to dinner tomorrow night. Today Steve and I are going to see the Statue of Liberty. That will be fun! Next week we're going to have dinner with Steve's crazy aunt. Her name is Raven and she lives in Greenwich Village. Steve says she loves to dance the tango. Take care, James P.S. I'm taking a lot of pictures. I'll send some to you.
