LETTER FROM THE SEA

Tuesday, 13th of August

Dear grandma,

I've been here long enough to be sure: I like the island of Issopyxos! If Mom really never wants to get on a ship more than her for her entire life and therefore has to stay here forever, then let's stay with her. We could have a good time here. The hotel porter told me that in February all the trees already have flowers and that it is five degrees Celsius when it's cold. Of course I would have to learn Greek in order to go to school. Mom could earn some money and I am the dad too. We could paint the stones, the dried pumpkins and even the t-shirts to sell to tourists. Besides, we would need less money than at home, because we don't need winter boots, woolen hats and anoraks here. Now I have to stop writing. Mom and Dad called me from the balcony to go to lunch. A thousand kisses.
