Cute daughter!!

Hi little one,

Is that right? Can you play songs on the piano?! How amazing! For some reason I couldn't watch the video--I think it is because the internet is sllllooooowwww here, but I will imagine you playing me asleep tonight. Also, Dada wrote me that you read him an Egypt book last night, and you pronounced all of the gods right!! Good job! I will post a couple pictures for you tonight, and one will be the goddess who is the sun's daughter. She gets really mad and goes way far south of Egypt in a huff, and do you know how she is lured back to Egypt? The trickster god (like Hermes, but in Egypt) lures her back by telling her Aesop's fables. That would work for me, especially if you told them to me!! Another picture is of me riding in the back of a truck on our field trip to Kharga. It's the same truck we had to push out of the sand dune! And the final picture is of a cute desert dog. He doesn't belong to anyone, but I wish he was ours (I bet Mai-Mai doesn't!!!).

So, write tonight and tell me how your day back at school was. Did you have espanole or art or discovery or what?? Did PJ lose any more teeth? I hope not!! Over here, I had a fun day excavating. We had thought we were in a street, but it turns out we were in a courtyard, which strikes me as much more interesting. Can you imagine excavating a street in New York City? There would be bottle caps and old bags and plastic cups, etc. But maybe in the courtyard we'll find some kid's toys. Who knows.

O.k., cutie. I will keep this short so you can write back soon. I adore you. Hug and kiss that Dada for me so many times, and have him tickle you for a while back and then kiss you tons.

Love, love, love,

Mama
