Katy Marsh is seventy years old now. She stopped working five years ago. Last year, she decided to realize her dream that she had when she was young. She hoped to travel along a river of Scotland in a small boat. She took her small CD player, her hot water bottle and a bag of books to make sure life in the boat wasn't too uncomfortable. We asked her if she was afraid of being on the river for so long. She said, "Well, I'm going to take a good compass. When I'm losing my way during my trip, it can help me a lot. "
Anyway I'm not afraid of death because I love rivers—I just hope it loves me, too. Katy certainly had plenty of energy(精力). In her free time, she enjoyed swimming and hiking. She had a wonderful trip in the small boat last year. She is seventy, but she doesn't want to have a quiet and peaceful life. She hopes to have fun in the rest of her life.
