The Biggest Wedgie This Side of the Mississippi - by Talia






Hi everybody,

I am having a pretty hard time here in mexico, but I know that I am coming back to boston. well today I left early from school at like 12:00. I have right now a fever really bad stomach ach and a bad head ach/dizzines.it is right know 4:28 mexico time and our school gets out at 2:30.

I skipped 3rd grade because it was too easy so now I’m in 4th grade and we’re learning in math like long division and multiplication. It’s pretty hard but it’s much better than 3rd grade. It only has 8 people – including me – so that’s good.

This weekend, we went to the mountains in Ixtlan. I really liked it and it was cold. at the moutains, there was a zip line. It was awesome. A climbing wall, you were attached to a rope so when you fall you are like flying. Also we went on this thing called the juegos de aire and you’re attached to this wire thing and you have a harness and so you want to go to the other side and you walk on things that are attached that are 20 feet above the ground and when you fall you fly again because you are attached to a wire.

Then we had all that fun and we went back to oaxaca on Sunday and we had lots of stuff in our car and we emptied our car and we put it all into the house. well, our house is really small and I don’t like it.

Goodbye and I miss boston and every state that my family is in and my friends and cousins and relatives and I’m sorry that the red sox didn’t win the world series.

Hi Tootster!!
You are a fabulous writer! I remember going to that place in Ixtlan, or some place like it with the ziplines. what a blast!
I am sorry it is hard for you there. It it good you are honest. It will get better. It did for Nora, and for me too, around this time I think. We loved dias de los muertos.
We love you. Everything is fine here on Hampstead Rd.
Today Nora and I took a dip in the ocean. really. I"ll let her tell you about it.
Abrazos mi amiga con la cara adorable y la risa incredible y la corazon muy fuerte ...

Hi Talia,
It's so fun to see you on the zipline. You look so free! I can't wait to show the girls all the cool things you've been doing. Last night was the Lantern Parade. It was more lively than usual since we had INDIE with us. Have some tortilla soup and feel better soon. Love, Pam

hey tal,(does anyone say "Que Tal!"?)
i hope that the times between the times when you aren't happy there grow longer, and the times between the times when you are happy keep getting shorter! say hi to your sweet family for me, and i'll look forward to seeing you in six weeks or so.

good luck throwing yourself into each day. -memo
