Dear Susie,

It was great to hear from you. Thanks a lot for your last letter. I haven't seen you for ages. I know you were busy a lot with your moving to another town and I hope you've managed to settle yourself.

As for me, I've spent an awesome time in Italy with my family. We were staying at a guest house, enjoying the spectacular view of the Piazza San Marco. Venice looks really special with its narrow canals, where a gondola ride has been a tradition for hundreds of years.

We had a chance to visit Vatican City, which is home to some of the world's precious art collections. Moreover, we relaxed at Lake Como. I was greatly impressed by the surrounding mountains, its greenery and the lines of toy-like towns. I'm sure you'll be inspired by this view to paint your best pictures in your free time.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is definitely worth visiting. It's popular with tourists from all over the world. We've climbed up the stairs of the tower for a fabulous view over the city. What is more, I can't mention the Colosseum, which is a must-see. It remains the largest ancient building ever built by the Romans. ·

Susie, I sent you the best photos I've ever taken. I wish we could come to it all together next time . You shouldn't miss the chance to visit this gorgeous country and get unforgettable memories of your life.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Best wishes, Adele
