                                   Hello from Acireale, Sicily

Last summer I went to Acireale, Sicily. 
It was sunny every day and it was hot.

During this holiday I  stayed in a hotel with my family. 
I was impressed when I went to the beach because there were black rocks formed over the years with the outflow of lava. 
In the morning I went with  my friends for  a walk along the sea shore, in the afternoon I  swam and in the evening I put on bonfires with my cousins. 
I love this beach!

I went to Milan, with my family 2 years ago, in August.

We stayed in a hotel, where we had only breakfast. 

During the day, we visited the town with friends living in Milan.  We saw the Duomo and other monuments .

Milan is a very beautiful and cool town. 

It was nice to see our friends, after a lot of years, and that great city.
