Travel letter (aSw) #3

I've really been having a wonderful time in Ponyville for the last two weeks. This town truly is beautiful, and I can't begin to describe how much cool stuff I got to see here. Truly, though this town seems like a boring old town like any other from afar, it is one of the most interesting places in Equestria. During the past 2 weeks, I was able to visit princess Twilight's castle, the School of Friendship, historical places like the spot the first storehouse of the town was built... And I even visited you old castle on multiple occasions. I met friends of all kinds, and learn about this charming town from the life of its citizens to the more peculiar events princess Twilight seems to end up in the middle of so often. Truly, this was a stop I needed, and I couldn't have asked for a better environment to rest before I go back on the road.
