Patsy in Istanbul The last time I wrote was a long time ago, in Shanghai. Since then, we took an overnight train from Shanghai to Hong Kong, and spent a week there.

Amazing!
Patsy, I am so amazed by all the wonderful places you have been and the experiences you are having. You are doing a wonderful job of describing your adventures. Tell Ella that that she looks much older than when she left. I think she has grown up a lot through her travels. Tell her I miss her and think of her often and that I get updates through her cousin Joy. Thanks so much for sharing with those of us back in the States. I love being able to experience the places you have seen through your writing and pictures. Lots of love, Ms. S :)

It is fun to hear about Istanbul from Patsy! And the sea gull who comes to the window reminds me of the birds who often come and fly into ours, because they can see themselves and think it is a rival. The food made me hungry, and it is noon--so maybe I'll eat lunch. Love from Gran

Istanbul
Istanbul sounds like a very interesting place to visit! Having your own room is very nice, I'm sure. The food always sounds very good. You try so many different types! The mosques bring back memories of when I was Ella's age in Lahore, Pakistan. We are glad you are having fun, except for the seasick part! Love, Louisa and Paul

Patsy, Gerald the Great Blue Heron showed up at the farm today, tapping on my window in Morse Code. He said that his friend Frederick has been trying to tap out a message for you in Istanbul. Here's the message: "Have lots of fun, but come home soon." We miss you. Love, Joyce
