Back to Nick Bollettieri

Melissa is back again in Bradenton. Late Saturday evening we arrived the three at Tampa Airport and drove to Bradenton. Ivone and I liked very much to see the academy and the school; we saw more tennis courts in one day than ever before in our lives ... Melissa is now living in a very nice villa on the campus (they call it APV - Academy Park Villas) as you can see on the pictures.

Liberty and other impressions


20 in NYC

Sorry for the late post, but we were traveling and had not earlier an opportunity.
Friday August 27 we celebrated Camila's 20th birthday in ... NYC!! We had a great day, loved to be all together and enjoyed the city (perhaps even more than we expected).


Delivered

Camila has started this week at ... Her subjects for the first semester are: Italian, Theater (great differentiation, like breathing techniques and writing), and English poetry. Every Friday she "has" to go New York City for workshops with international artists and in the evening she has to visit performances, a real punishment ...


Quiz

Where are these pictures taken?

Sarah Lawrence: Camila arrived

This Tuesday we arrived in Bronxville, a beautiful town, half hour drive from Manhattan. It is in the middle of forest, nice one century old buildings, you would forget to be that close to New York. Here we will drop of Camila, from Saturday onwards she will be freshman at Sarah Lawrence College. And she is looking forward to it!

When we arrived Tuesday afternoon we couldn't resist to drive to Sarah Lawrence and have a look. We were quite astonished. The pictures don't really give a complete message. But imagine some Tudor buildings from the 20s, squirls hopping on the grass and you will understand. While we were welcomed and sitting in a wood panneled waiting room with fire place, we suddenly recognized the dean for foreign students who coincidently entered. We had a nice conversation with her in her room and felt almost like coming home.

Camila is going to fill a new blog with all her adventures around NY: it is about lipstick and city lights. I have added it to the list at the right. Saturday we will shoot some more pictures, for now these.

This is the building where Camila is going to live, it's called Hill House:
