Hi Sam,
Greetings from Florence! (I / have) a fantastic time on my cooking course. Our teacher, Marco, (have) a small restaurant near the river, and we cook there every morning.
The food here (taste) amazing, and the kitchen always (smell) of garlic and fresh bread. I (not understand) everything Marco says, because he speaks very fast, but (I / know) a lot more about Italian food now.
Right now (I / sit) in a café near the hotel and (I / look) at the photos from today. (I / think) about tonight, because we're cooking for real customers! Marco (think) we're ready, but I'm not so sure.
Thanks for your photos, by the way. Your new flat (look) great! How much it (it / cost) a month? (I / want) to come and see it when I get back.
Tomorrow (I / see) my old friend Giulia in Rome, and then I fly home on Saturday.
Love,
Lisa
