Top 5 places to visit in summer

I don't have many friends, but rather I have just only one girlfriend. Her name is Anastasia. First of all, I really appreciate her because she is very good, kind, merry, talented  and helpful. It does not become bored with her . We became friends in the third form. We went to our art school together. And if I get sick she asks me about my health every day. In free time we go on a picnic or to the cinema. As for me she is the best and dearest friend. Though I have only one close friend, but she is reliable and I can trust her.
