her spring holidays with her
friend Jan:
Hi
Arianna!
I
have to thank you again for
the wonderful trip you arranged
for Jan and I! It was perfect
in every way! We enjoyed the
cooking class so much and Carla
was such a joy to meet. I'll
write more later, but just wanted
you to know the rest of our
trip was great; the hotels in
Fiorenze and Pisa were very
nice also.
Love,
Marla
