Thanks Missy and Michelle for writing!!!! We so appreciate a response! Annie provides me with input on what to write. She is working on her online class while I write to you. She is beside me and says hello! We picked up her cake from the International School of Cooking and it is bellissimo! The student cooks helped me with my Italian menu for tommorrow night when Annie and I cook for our new friends. I have real Chianti from Toscany!! Fanta for the youth. Fanta is different here and quiet refreshing. Nato, his wife and 2 sons, Annie s age, are also coming too. Everybody plays the guitar and it is going to be a musical evening! So, fun for Annie too! We had our Italian lesson today so she practiced her Italian more, in anticipation that the boys dont speak any English. Im sure it will not be a lengthy conversation, lol, but music is another language that everyone understands. Annie went over pronounciation for another song she is learning- a Mozart piece from Figaro, Voi che sapete,. I asked Marcello to work with Annie on learning how to correctly read and pronouce Italian so she can figure out any future songs in the language. Marcello is so wonderful!! He teaches us so much. Today, Annie worked with Nicoletta on singing vowels in Italians. It was a great lesson as usual! It s SO SO SO HOT NOW. I took 4 cold showers and will have a 5th before going to bed. Tommorrow will be the last lesson with Diego, such a wonderful teacher. Both teachers have given great advice about technique, the profession and what she needs to do to continue beyond Florence. We are sad to go but with us we take beautiful memories and experiences. For Annie too, a new way of singing and exercises to continue her work for when she returns home. Love to all, Robin and Annie
