New York

Dearest Danny and Becky

How are you both today?

These days I am drinking a lot of tea because I got 2 teapots from friends. They're really fancy and keep heat very well (and are very heavy. I drink rooibos out of tiny cups, because it's really good for you and if I just drink a small cup at a time, it stays hot... Mmmm... this is not very interesting is it?!

Tomorrow I'm going to New York for Glory's memorial service. New York has a whole section of the city that is supposed to be almost like being in China-- it has Chinese bakeries, Chinese restuarants, and Chinese shops. It's always bustling with people. This is where my friend's memorial service will be, because her parents were from Hong Kong. It takes about four hours on the bus to get from Boston to New York. I like the bus ride alright because I usually listen to music or read on the way.

I heard you are going to Ballito and to Howick really soon. That's wonderful! Are you getting excited? Do you know what you'll do once you're there? Those are two really beautiful places.

Much love
Jo
