Dear Alex, Thank you for your letter. I am always glad to hear from you, you know it. Today I'll try to answer your questions about New York. You asked me about our programme there, well, we are arriving to NY in a week. There we are staying with American families and are having some classes before lunch time during our stay in NY and we are doing various sights after lunch. On Monday we are visiting Rockefeller Centre, on Tuesday we are walking in Central Park, on Wednesday we are having a sea trip to the Statue of Liberty, the next day, that is on Thursday we are doing the Guggenheim Museum, on Friday we are visiting a concert hall in Broadway (by the way, there are about 30 theatres and concert halls in this street). The last thing we are going to see there is the Impire State Building.The Programme is great, I hope to take a lot of pics there. That's all for now. Keep in touch. Best wishes, Dima
