Hi, Leiana,
I have an 8y old daughter who is trying to find an ePal. We are originally from America (Chicago) but have now lived in Ireland the last two years. I am glad to say that Maria Elise (and her 13y old brother) has adjusted well to the changes and culture. She, too, is an excellent reader and writes well. She likes history and science, paints and draws. If Clarise is interested, she may write to Maria Elise directly at mariael7998@epals.com
Cheers,
Leila
PS My father was from Chihuahua, Mexico and I lived there when I was very young. Maria Elise is presently reading on her own about the invasion of Cortez. She was shocked, indeed.
