The Sisters

Hi Mom!

Thank you for the new cloak! It looks really pretty! And warm! I'm glad to hear that everyone is doing well!

The band and I are still competing in that music contest. I'm getting to see a lot of different places! We even had a gig underwater! We had to use this special oil to keep our instruments from getting ruined. I was worried that it might not work so I did a lot of testing beforehand. I'm glad it did work! I think I would have cried if anything happened to my drums!

While I was down at the bottom of the ocean, I bought these things called "cray-ons" that they use to write underwater. I thought maybe Ushy would like them! They're pretty neat. They're supposed to work on all sorts of things. I'll include them in this letter. Tell him I'm sorry it's not a phonograph!

After we left the ocean, we went back to Maraddon City where everyone got noble titles. That was a little weird. Then we headed towards the Sisters on a TRAIN! Unfortunately trains are made for very tiny people. I had to sleep in the dining car! Actually, that really wouldn't have been too bad except there were a ton of clocks in there. Tick Tick Tick Tick..... Well, it did give me a new idea for a song! So I guess it wasn't all bad at all!

I'm also working on a song for my singing bowls. None of our songs use them which is so sad because they make some of the coolest sounds! I'm thinking of asking Sue (little athak guy, weird but in a good, funny way) what his thoughts are on my composition so far. The sound my bowls make seems like his sort of thing.

I guess I should get to bed soon. We'll probably have a busy day looking for more songs. Tell everyone at home I'm thinking of them!

Loves and Kisses,

Gaja

PS - You wouldn't believe all the weird fish that live at the bottom of the ocean! I wonder what they all taste like!

Drawings of lots of different types of fish. (Captions guess on what kind of flavor each fish has. Stranger fish have stranger guessed flavors.)
