My holiday with Sofia Librale

Dear friends, 

I spent a week with a new friend, Sofia Librale. 

Rebecca and I went to the park where we met Sofia. She is a sweet, cute girl. We spent all the afternoon playing in the park. We liked sliding down the slide, playing with the swing... it was very funny.

In the evening I met her family: her father Claudio, her mother Valeria, her dog Kiko. They were all happy to meet me. Then I visited their house. I love Sofia’s bedroom. It’s so wonderful to listen to music there. 

Sofia’s mother is a great cook! I like her chicken rolls, salad and baked potatoes. Very yummy! 

. 

On 28th  December  we  played bingo with some of  her friends. There were also some presents and I won a scarf. It’s so beautiful and useful even because in this period it is very cold. 

 

On 29th December  we went shopping with her mother Valeria. Of course I wore my new scarf and Sofia said I looked fashionable. 

We bought a traditional Italian cake called “Panettone Pandoro” that Italians usually eat at Christmas and some snacks. 

Then at about 6 we went to the bar for a snack and we had some biscuits and a cup of hot chocolate. Yummy!

On 30th December I helped  Sofia with her homework. She had to study literature, an Italian writer, Dante Alighieri. He is famous because he wrote the Divine Comedy.

At Lunchtime we ate pasta with tomato sauce and meat (it is called "ragù"). Finally I ate a banana, a slice of pineapple and grapes for dessert. I was full :-)

On 31st December evening Sofia and her family took me to the wonderful  restaurant called “Villa Leta” to celebrate New Year’s Eve.

We ate lots of good things. Before midnight we counted down for the New Year. It was very funny.

We spent the 1st New Year’s day with Sofia’s aunts, uncles and grandparents. It was a lovely day.

I’m very glad I’ve known Sofia and I’m sure I’ll miss her and her family.

What about you? What about your Christmas holidays? 

I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
