My summer holidays
Hi Robert,
This is our third week here in Europe and were having a great time. The people are very
friendly and the weather is good even in Britain it was sunny and warm! We flew to London
from Montreal and we spent four days visiting the city. Theres so much to see and do!
Unfortunately we didnt see the Queen! Mike was very disappointed!
Then 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, of course. We had some wonderful
food in small restaurants in the Latin Quarter. I lost my passport in the Metro, so we went to
the Canadian Embassy to get another.
After Paris we flew to Barcelona, where it was very hot. We made friends with some local
people in a bar and they showed us the city. We took a bus to a small town on the coast and
we found a hotel with a beautiful view of the sea. We relaxed on the beach for two days before
moving on to Italy where we are now. We arrived here in Florence early this morning and were
having a big breakfast before we go sightseeing. After Florence, we are going to Rome, Athens
and then Istanbul. Ill write again in two weeks time.
Give my love to Anne and the children. See you soon!
