Questions 7 through 10 refer to the following letter. 

Dear Grandma and Grandpa,

Thank you both for the wonderful wedding present. Both Jill and I have always wanted to go to France and visit the many museums. We were so shocked when we first saw the airplane tickets that we almost fainted! It was more than we could have hoped to receive airplane tickets to France as a wedding present! Paris is wonderful! The only trouble is trying to decide where to go. I want to go to the museums, but Jill wants to see some of the beautiful traditional churches. In the end, we decided to see the churches in the morning (when the weather is coot), and the museums in the afternoon (because they’re air-conditioned). This allows us to get the most sightseeing done during our two-week stay. There are many coffee shops, too. Jill likes sitting outside and watching people, but I like sitting inside where I can enjoy the smell of the coffee. French coffees are so much more aromatic and stronger than the coffee we are used to back home. Thanks again for the lovely trip! We sent you a postcard, but I think we will arrive back home before you get it. It is a picture of the Eiffel tower.

Love,

Freddy and Jill

7. What did Freddy’s grandparents give him and Jill for a wedding present?
