MAN Hi, Mary, Hi, Bill!

BILL Hello, how are you?

MAN Fine thanks, how was your trip?

MARY It was great. We had a wonderful time.

MAN Where did you go?

MARY Well, we flew to Paris, where we did everything the tourists usually do. We walked a lot by the river...

BILL And the weather was sunny...

MAN Great!

MARY And we visited the museums and galleries, and the Eiffel Tower...

BILL And did some shopping.

MARY Yes, we did some shopping.

BILL No, you did some shopping.

MARY OK, OK, I did a lot of shopping.

BILL Then we went to Venice, where we met some New Yorkers, and we did a lot of sightseeing with them.

MARY We had a nice time together.

BILL Then we went to Vienna...

MARY I've always wanted to go to Vienna.

BILL And we found a cheap hotel and what did we do there?

MARY We went to the Opera. It was wonderful. So romantic. And then we went to Budapest.

BILL Yeah, and Mary bought some souvenirs, while I had a steam bath. It was great.

MARY Except you lost your wallet.

BILL Yes, I lost my wallet, but someone found it and luckily it had the name of my hotel in it and I got it back.

MARY Isn't that great?

MAN Amazing.

MARY And then we flew back to Paris, and then flew home.

MAN Well, welcome home!

BILL & MARY Thank you.
