Hi Tony.
First of all, thanks for your letter. It's fantastic you're going to come to Spain and stay with me.
If you're going to come in August, it isn't a problem because in July I am going to Italy with my family.
About the best dates for me, I am going to be here all the month, so... you can come when you want. But I would like, if you tell me the arriving day and the leaving day, for preparing.
Here, at summer, the climate is dry, and the weather hot and sunny.So, I recommend you to bring t-shirts, shorts, one pair of jeans, one jersey, sandals and trainers.
I put "one" in bold, because in summer,especially in Madrid, thermometer it's up of 40ºC (104ºF).
Why did you ask me: what sort of presents would your parents like?
You don't have to bring any present, it's not necessary!
And neither for me.
So.... see you soon Tony, I wait for your new questions.
David
