Dear Anna-Karin,

As Chiara and Irene came back we spent two weeks (as usual) at the seaside in South-Eastern Italy (Bari) and we started working again at the beginning of these week. Irene started school again last Thursday while Chiara will start tomorrow.

We are very grateful for your report that show all attention you paid to our daugthers  as well as your ability in getting the peculiarities of both of them.

They said they had a very pleasant stay with you and your husband and that you were very tender and caring with them.

We attach a very recent picture of the girls near the house at the seaside.

If you come to Italy, we would be very happy if you contact us.

Keep in touch! sincerely,

Maria and Gianmichele
