Dear Robert ,

Sorry, I haven´t written to you earlier but we have been very busy. You know

We have been here in Europe for 3 weeks and we have had a great time. The people are very friendly and kind
and the weather is good. Even in Britain it was sunny and warm.

The week before the last, we flew to London from Montreal and we spend four days visiting the city. Have
you ever visited London ? It´s wonderful, there´s so much to do and

See ! .Last week we took the Eurostar to Paris and we stayed with my cousin, Angie. We did some sightseeing and
we visited the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower. I know that you have already visited Paris. We really enjoyed our
vacation there. After Paris, we flew to Barcelona a beautiful view of the sea. I´ve never experienced such comfort.
We relaxed 2 days on the beach before moving on to Italy. In fact , we´ve just arrived to Florence and we are
having breakfast. We are haven´t started our tour, yet.

After Florence, we ´re going to Rome and then Athens .

I´ll write again in 2 weeks´ time. Give my love to Ann and the children.

See you soon !
