is because it was our first trip together. When I see these pictures, it makes me happy and reminds that time. Thanks to you, we went to Spain's luxurious hotel which is located Downtown at cheap prices. It had amazing amenities
such
as an outdoor swimming pool, food and spa. I will go there with my mom next year on her birthday. As you know, I went to South Korea
last
week to meet my family and congratulate them on my grandmother's birthday. That’s why I replied too late sorry. I really want to invite you to my Como next Saturday. If you have time you can stay with me and my dog. I will go to buy some iced wine for you so hope you come to Como. I’m looking forward to getting a positive reply from you. Thank you.
