Hello Silvia,

About London: I looked on the Internet to find out what's on at the moment. Well, there's an Eva Hesse exhibition on at the Tate Modern. She was a painter and sculptor. I like her work very much. We could go there on Saturday morning. What do you think? Then we could go to the British Museum. In the afternoon we could go to the Aztec exhibition at the Royal Academy of Art. It costs about 12 pounds, but I think it will be good. It has good reviews. Maybe before the Aztecs we could have lunch in Soho. It's very near. On Saturday night there is an Australian band called George playing in Camden. Would you like to see them? They are in all the magazines at the moment. Do you think we can do all these things in one day? Well, Silvia, let me know. Now I will see what we can do on Sunday!

Bye,

Marga
