Dear Eric,
Thanks for lead me to some wonderful scenic spot in London.
To begin with, I appreciated the unique landscape of London what I had only seen on the Internet or on TV before. We have visited to many tourist attractions, of which the Big Ben and the British Museum left me the deep impression. More importantly, this trip helps me learn more about the connections between Chinese culture and British culture.
It was pity that we had only a day for our trip, which made me a little regret. How I wish we could have another trip soon. Thanks again but I' m looking forward to your next trip together.

Yet many people are asking that slightly embarrassing question: Can you be too old to travel? The travel industry has already responded. Try renting a car in Europe, for example. In Croatia, Schaefer wouldn't be able to this year, because the maximum age is 70. Insurance companies require higher rates; tour operators limit certain activities. That feels like a " no" for many travelers.
Definitely some folks should think twice before traveling, but not only based on their age. It's their level of fitness, says Kirsten Veldman, a former tour guide who now edits a retirement blog. She recalls a 93-year-old who was disabled and traveling alone on a Caribbean tour. "You can't expect to ask a tour leader to be there for you 24/7 for medical care. " she says. "Tour guides don't have the time, skills, and knowledge for it. So, in this case, my advice is: he shouldn't have traveled with us in this situation. "
But some tour operators serve older travelers. For example, Grand Circle Travel started in 1958 to serve senior members. “We have travelers into their 80s and even 90s. Some travel as a couple and some alone,” says company spokeswoman Ann Shannon. “We have no age limit.”
If you ask travel experts, they'll tell you that age is just a number. It's a question of physical, and to a certain extent, mental ability. "Many of our travelers are retired, focused on keeping their good health, and are experienced travelers who have a good idea of what to expect, "says Sara Baer-Sinnott, president of Oldways, a food and nutrition nonprofit that operates tours. "Someone in their 40's may struggle more than someone in their 80s. "

8 . While known for its Pacific Ocean beaches and fashionable coastal towns, the Golden State is also home to many new and clean lakes where visitors can soak up the sun and cool off.
Shasta Lake
Shasta Lake is the largest reservoir in California at 30. 000 acres wide. The Lake is in Northern California and is a three and a half-hour drive from Los Angeles. With 370 miles of shoreline, it's no surprise that renting a houseboat is a popular activity. Depending on their location , visitors can enjoy the view of Mt. Shasta, which has snow on its peak year-round.
Big Bear Lake
Big Bear Lake is another great option for those wanting to take a day trip from Los Angeles. It takes only two hours to drive there from downtown Los Angeles. Animal lovers can stop by the Big Bear Alpine Zoo to get an up-close look at the lake's namesake (同名物). The lake also has many hiking and biking trails, along with plenty of fishing spots.
Lake Havasu
Lake Havasu is divided along the border of California and Arizona and is an oasis (绿洲)in the desert. It's a five-hour drive from Los Angeles and a two and a half hour drive from Las Vegas. Visitors can fish or go boating on the lake that was formed from the Colorado River.
Mono Lake
Mono Lake is located in the Sierra Nevada mountains and spans more than 70 miles. It's a five-hour drive from either Los Angeles or San Francisco. Visitors into fishing should head to a different lake because this body of water does not have any fish. It's a salty lake, which means that it's filled with saltwater and is two to three times saltier than the ocean.

9 . There are more Starbucks special drinks than you could ever dream of, and we're talking about the items that maybe aren't offered at your local shop but are offered at one of the other approximately 30,000 locations around the world. Depending on what country you are in, the menu may look a little different, so if you're planning a trip anytime soon, check out what fun drinks you may find!
Japan—Sakura Blossom Cream Latte
The drink is currently only available in Japan. Sakura, which means cherry blossom, is considered to be a symbol of regeneration and simplicity. It is the national flower of Japan, and Starbucks typically only has the drink available in the springtime.
The drink itself is just pink, with sakura sauce, cherry blossom milk jelly, and strawberry sauce or jelly used to create the pink color. The drinks also come in special cherry blossom-themed cups.
Vietnam—Dolce Misto
Starbucks created the Dolce Misto specifically for the Vietnamese market. “It's designed to bring Vietnamese customers a new flavor and respect for traditional Vietnamese coffee,” said the general director of Starbucks Vietnam on its release in 2015.
Dolce Misto is reportedly one of the strongest drinks in any Starbucks throughout the world. If sweet and strong is how you like your coffee and you live in Vietnam, this is the perfect Monday-afternoon pick-me-up for you.
Chile—Lemon Bar Frappuccino
Meant to be the perfect sweet-and-sour summer drink, Starbucks Chile offered a Lemon Bar Frappuccino for the summer of 2018. With the combination of vanilla bean and lemonade topped with caramel sugar and whipped cream, the drink was relatively well received, though some were disappointed there was no coffee in it. It's still unknown whether Starbucks will be bringing the limited edition drink back to Chile or anywhere for the summer of 2019.
