Dear Master Blake,
ReplyDeleteDelighted to see this latest posting and to see some of South Carolina through your eyes and words. Your next destination will be a city I've always wanted to visit--Savannah, Georgia. Hope you like it and find it as beautiful and welcoming as Charleston and the other southern towns you have thus far visited. Each one has its own mysterious and proud history to tell, and to an inquisitive and curious sailor like you there is magic in every port of call.
It was special to talk with you during the last phone call. You sounded great and full of enthusiasm. Must be all that salt air and good food on-board, thanks to your Mom's and Dad's gourmet cooking. Can't believe all the gifts you managed to haul-in during Christmas! Where did you put it all? Very pleased that you are reading at a fast pace--Harry Potter has nothing on you and Dante! Who knows, in a few years you may be drawing on all these experiences to write your own books for Dante and all his friends who come to know and love the magic and wonder in words and good yarns.
We love you all very much. Special hugs to you and your brother and, of course, your special Mom & Dad.
