Hi Mom!

Things are still doing well with the band! Have they started talking about us at home yet? Thank you for the new socks. Traveling all the time is kinda rough! The equipment gets to sit nice and comfortably in the cart while I've got to walk alongside and look *scary*!!! Don't worry though; no one every really bothers us!

We just entered this fancy music competition. Musicians from all over have entered! What a challenge! Unfortunately it seems more like gathering music that playing it. That's a bit of a disappointment. Our band comes up with some really great songs. I think we should be able to use those in the competition! Well, everyone else doesn't seem to mind so I guess I won't let it bother me.

This music gathering thing isn't easy either. We end up having to run around doing jobs in exchange for the music. Like the other day we had to catch a bird for the Wealth Church! Well, I wasn't actually there for that one. My friends told me about it later. Sometimes I get so busy worrying about my drums, I miss all the excitement!

Now we're on the trail of another song. Maybe I'll actually get to help this time.

Tell everyone at home I miss them!

Loves and Kisses,

Gaja

PS - Here are some pictures I drew of the capital. Sorry I'm not much of an artist! Maybe you'll get to visit one day too!
