Dear Mom and Dad,

I like it down here, in Bolivia. Everybody speaks either Spanish, Quiche, or Aymara and I don't know any of them. It's landlocked, which means it's not near any oceans. But there is this one big lake called Lake Titicaca. It's a funny name. Just like Wallenpapack. I'd like to live in a city called La Paz, because it's nice in the city here. There's not a lot of smog or chemical pollution. They play soccer here and they even had their team go to Olympics. Nobody told me who won, so that kind of gives you a clue.

There are 7,826,352 people in all of Bolivia. TV, Radio, Newspapers, and arts are all things I've seen here. The food is OK here. The land is good for cattle, so we could have a farm rather than the city if you like. The climate varies with the evaluation, so we shouldn't live on any mountains or hills. You should bring your shorts, long pants, sweaters, T-shirts and bring a few umbrellas it may rain sometimes. The Climate is about the same as New York. Chilly in winter, but not as cold.

I heard a man playing panpipe on the street one day and he was really good at it. I gave him a quarter. So, after that I figured dad and me could go down on our bikes and stop to listen.

Until next time,
Richie
