,Dear Luca and Alexandra I’m writing to thank you for the lovely time I had stayed in your gorgeous house in Patras while I was studying Greek last Winter As you know, I’d never been to Greece when I arrived in Athens, and I was thrilled to find so many wonderful people and amazing archaeological sites. I really had no idea about Greece’s rich heritage. Almost all the stereotypes we have in London of Greece were soon proven wrong. I met many people whose worldview is pretty much the same as my own. I’ve certainly told everyone back home about the fascinating and generous community of Patras My most memorable experience was celebrating the Patras Carnival with you – that incredible Saturday evening parade and those bonfires, as well as the live music in four languages. I’m so grateful you shared those things with me Please accept a small token of my gratitude, enclosed, and remember, if you’re ever in London, I’d be delighted to put you up and show you around ,Your friend David
