RHODES & ADRIANA: A LOVE STORY

Alexander The Great

Dear Family,

I want to talk to you about Rhodes.

Rhodes Island is the largest Greek one in the Dodecanese. The legend says that there was a statue of extraordinary dimensions called The Colossus of Rhodes. 

It was one of the Seven Wonders of Ancient World and it was destroyed by an earthquake. Rhodes belonged to Alexander the Great. You can find a great diversity of cultures: the Egyptians; the Romans, who managed to conquer the island and built numerous theatres, statues and temples; the Byzantine Empire and the Venetians dominated it in different ages. It has an Arabian influence until the Germans and Italians arrived and occupied the island. Finally, it was delivered to Greece.

Rhodes is an incredible and beautiful place plenty of nice people, where you can smell the Mediterranean essence visiting its Coliseum, its Medieval Wall or walking across the Old City considered a World Heritage Site.

I hope you like it!

Today, we've reviewed the possessive and the object pronouns. We've listened Adriana talking about her island and we’ve walked around it. It has been a wonderful trip with the family. This evening we must get a boat to sail along the Cretan Sea but David is still ill and we’ve decided to postpose our cruise until he will be fine. Meanwhile, we will dedicate our free time to look for a new house for living all together. It will be exciting!
