Hi, Jeni,
I have an 8y old daughter who is looking for a pen pal or ePal. She is very interested in learning about children like herself where ever they happen to be. We are from America (Chicago) and moved to Ireland two years ago. We travel back home twice a year. We know California well. I was a park ranger at Joshua Tree National Monument in 29 Palms (a long time ago) and their father was a USMC Harrier pilot in Monterrey. Living in Ireland is quite different than what we knew or could have imaginied. I am glad to say that my daughter (and her 13 year old brother) have adjusted quite well to the changes and culture. My daughter loves to read and write, sports, video games, history and remembering quirky facts like Einstein used to wipe his hands on his socks, for instance, or his theory on bees. She's a funny kid. Her stepfather is the drummer of the Irish band, The Hothouse Flowers, so all of the kids (mine and his) are really interested in music of all types. - She is learning how to play the tin whistle and will start the piano after the Christmas break. That's it. If you think that any of your kids might be interested in corresponding with her via ePals or regular post, please send me a note with your details to lcamposmoya@epals.com and I will do the same in return.
Good night,
Leila
