I have been in Italy. It has been a great holiday. On the

first day, I was in Rome. I visited the Trevi Fountain. It

was really attractive. I had a chance to see the cathedral in Vatican. On the second day, I tasted local dishes like pizza and pasta in various restaurants. Then I bought some souvenirs for friends and the family. On the third day, the guide took us to Florence. It was a historic and fantastic city. I visited some museums. My favorite one was Uffizi. The city was mystic and fantastic. I am going to stay for 2 days and see Siena and Milano. I hope to come here again with you.

Love,

HELEN.
