Hello everyone. My new friend came over yesterday. Her name is Yvette. She is eleven years old too! She lives across the street from us.
Before she got to know us, Jay and Kevin were telling her how much they love us. Yvette laughed because she doesn't know any men in the village that have flat friends. Then she got to know us and now we are good friends. So now she doesn't laugh at Kevin and Jay when they play with us!
Yvette just returned from Martinique. It is another island that is 25 miles from here. That's about the distance between where you are and Catalina island.
But here is the crazy part. You know how we take a big boat to Catalina? Well Yvette's dad is a fisherman and he takes the whole family there on his small fishing boat like the ones here!
Yvette says she likes it when her dad gets air. I think Yvette's family is very brave.Fishermen are very brave people. They go out early in the morning before the sun comes up. They travel way out to sea and fish all day long before coming home.
Dear Flat Erika,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear you are meeting new friends your age. It must be fun finding out about things in St. Lucia from an eight year old's perspective. As a fisherman's daughter, she must have many cool stories.
