Dear Rita, 

It was nice to hear from you and know you are back in Moscow safe from all uncomfortable travel. You apparently are doing fine and have concern for the impressions of the tour. After a pleasant brief tour in Vienna (finally had a good meal), I am fine and back to the windy city of Chicago (in Waukegan) and am happy to give you my impression of the Odessa tour. The whole tour was more than I expected; every day has been a supreme pleasant memory that I will cherish forever. I want to let you know that your staff had much to do with the success of the tour and wish to thank you all for it. One of the lucky events was that I had the assistance of an interpreter who spoke Spanish (my second language) and was the icing on the cake that made the whole tour a time that I will always hold dear to my heart. Thank you again and may God continue to bless you always.

Sincerely yours,

Francisco
