Carmen,

Everyday I´ve been in Greece I´ve eaten breakfast with my grandfather, and we´re never had a single conversation. Is that weird? Does he think I´m a freak? Tomorrow, I swear, I´m going to memorize at least three sentences in Greek and say them. I´ll feel like a failure if the summer ends and we still haven´t said a word to each other. When we get back, do you think you could give me a few pointers on how to be a normal person? I don´t seem to get it.

                                                Love,
