INTRODUCING
We are a senior couple (65) with two grown children. I'm a civil servant and my wife, Lília, is already retired as public official. Our eldest son, Henrique (40), lives with us and is bearer of autistic disorder. The newest, Tulio (37), is married and has no children. His wife is Renata. So we left on vacations in three or five people. We like read classical and modern literature, listen to classical music & opera, cinema & theater and gardening. I speak a bit of English and French, Lilia speaks well the French and a little English and Italian. We do exchange mainly in Europe, including Russia and in countries of Latin America.
