Day 6....Someone who does not live in my country
This makes me giggle a little bit, but only because I knew exactly who I wanted to write about....she's actually come up in a couple different conversations/facebook responses lately...my pen pal from 7th grade, Melanie. She lives or did live at the time in Australia.
I had signed up for a pen pal in french class with Mrs. Kapas and got one then just like the rest of the class; however, a few weeks later or so I received a letter from this girl my age, maybe a little younger, baby blue eyes and bright natural blonde hair color, Melanie from Australia. Huh I thought, "maybe my name is out there on some kind of pen pal list." That was cool with me, since I actually kept in touch much longer with Melanie than the one I was assigned to in my french class.
Many many letters sent back and forth from the U.S to Australia, the beginning of my love for wanting to visit the country/continent, which I have not yet, but still would love to go some day!! We sent pictures, stamps, and even had discussed about sending videos but figured out that it may not be compatible to watch each others, so we tried to set up some time to talk on the phone and if memory serves me correctly, I don't believe that ever happened either, because it was a twelve hour time difference. For some reason though I think it may have happened once, but maybe only because I had wanted it to am I thinking that it had actually happened.
Anyways, one day letters just stopped. It's all good. It was fun while it lasted, and a pretty cool childhood experience.
