Hi it's Ali from Athens Greece

Hi mommy, daddy, sissy, family, and friends,
It is Ali from Athens, Greece. It is here and the sunrise in the morning is so beautiful. The family is the best, they even take me shopping and buy me wicked cool things. I even bought you all presents. The language is really hard to understand, but is fun to see other people’s culture. I am learning many new things, just as I promised. I am taking lots and lots of pictures so I hope that you will enjoy them when I get back.

The family is so amazing! They have a busy, busy life and they are always on the go. The mother, Alexis Michaelides, is thirty eight years old. She is an architect and you would love her mom, if you met her. She wears glasses and loves to paint. The father’s name is Alexandro Michaelides. He is thirty nine years old and is an engineer and her very tall and also very smart. One of their four kids is Alice Michaelides who is thirteen years old she has a twin sister names Ally Michaelides. Alice loves to dance and she has brown hair. Ally Michaelides is also thirteen and she is older that Alice by three minutes. Ally loves music and she is very stylish. Adrian Michaelides is seventeen years old and is also very tall and he is very athletic but I don’t see him very much he is usually at school or practice. Alec Michaelides is seven years old, he loves to play his cello and he’s an A+ student.

The house is so cool and it has a swimming pool. Alice, Ally and I all go out in it after school and swim until the sun is almost down. The house has three bedrooms and one master bedroom. My room is like five times the size of mine at home! It is HUGE! Down in the basement there is a play room and Ally and Alice and I always hang out there.

I am so excited to see you all but I think I will stay a lot longer. Later this week there will be a celebration of Christmas and we are going! They got me a dress and it’s pink with blue flowers on it. They said I could bring it home when I come back, and I am also looking forward to the weeks to come with my wonderful Greek family. So please write back. I am dying to hear from you.
Love you,
Ali
