Wish you were here

Dear [your name here],

As you can see from the front of this card, [placename] is a veritable Topsy Turvey world compared to home. Yesterday I sang with an elephant and strummed a lute; today I ate crickets with Conan Doyle and rowed a river of thickened cream to a walnut grove populated by dancing thornbills. You'd love it here. The air is clear and warm most days and there is a pool outside my room that burbles constantly, permeating my sleep and aquifying my dreams. Tomorrow I hope to climb a mountain to attend a festival of fabricated gods. I'll have to rise early, so I really must finish.

Hope you're well and happy. I'm thinking of you,
Alida

Wish you were here #2
