Dear Gino

Hello Gino from the US of A! How are you my good friend? I miss you over here. I am staying with my aunt and her family. Marco and I are really enjoying it here. Living here is like heaven compared to living in Italy. The apartment we live is so tidy and clean. The beds are so comfortable and it is beautifully decorated. I cannot say I miss Italy now. Apart from friends like you Gino. I hope to stay in America permanently. Maybe you should join me on this great adventure. I have a wonderful job. I am very pleased about it. I work near the docks loading and offloading. It is so much fun. All I do is sing songs and laugh with the other colleagues. I think they enjoy my company. My singing cheers them up, I think. I am always singing, "paper doll" on the docks and I jump about in a merry style. I really love New York. It is a great place to be at. The other night, I went out in the evening to the cinemas. It was a great evening, filled with people. When the city lights turned on my eyes filled up with amazement as the city lit in just a few seconds. The buildings are so tall and the streets so busy. I love meeting the American people in this country. Eddie, Beatrice's husband is so kind to me. We get on very well. He has been nothing but kind to me. He found me the work at the docks and I am so grateful for this. We talk and joke. Sometimes he makes funny jokes about me, which I laugh to. Their niece is the sweetest thing. Her name is Catherine, she is so pretty and I like her very much. She talks to me so much and I hope to take her out in the evenings. Well this is what my first week was like Gino.
Join now!


I hope for you to write me back soon.

Yours truly, Rodolpho.

Hello Gino

Thank you for writing me back. I have great news. The girl I spoke about in my last letter, Catherine. I have been going out with her for a few weeks now. We went to a park a few nights ago. We had a picnic under a tree and then we looked up at the stars and I told her about some of them. I also taught her some Italian. I said to her "siete bella una ragazza". Gino she is ...
