Are there no ice cubes in Italy? (Part 1 of 3)

Sept. 3, 94

Mark,

Buon Giorno! I made it to Italy. And in one piece too! It's beautiful here - warm and clear. Looks a lot like Cali so I love it! hehe! We start classes Monday - hope they don't work us too hard. The food is wonderful, but I do miss ICE CUBES! I hope classes are ok & life is good in the 'ol USA. If you get bored, MAIL ME. I have no mail and pout. hehe! I'll email ya in December when I come home!

ciao,
Wendy ...

A friend of a friend that briefly became a friend of mine. Didn't really have enough time before she left to really cement the friendship, so after a few letters, that was it. The postcard is Castiglion Fiorentino.

Dear Mark,
Hi! We are having a really good time. The people on the postcard look like friends of yours. The sun is really hot & I'm sure you'd think the girls are good looking.

Miss you,
Jenny

I always believed Jenny thought of me as a bit annoying. So, why did she go out of her way to send me a postcard? Probably because she was so nice that she even sent postcards to the annoying people in her group of friends. What a great person!
