Happy Birthday, Grandma!!! Hope you are enjoying France! We can't seem to get the phone to call you there, but we're thinking of you...!
Ruby says,
"When we went to Brac we took a ferry there. The ferry was very big. We climbed upstairs and sat down. at first it was boring while the people got on. when it started to move we were not bored!
After awhile people started to smoke, so we went outside. We went upstairs to the cold and windy top deck. The ocean was clear, and the air tasted wet. we went down to go to the bathroom. it was stuffy downstairs. we played frog juice and then went back up. I smelled salt water and saw Brac. there were a lot of tiled rooves.
When we got off the ferry, we walked until we found tourest information. They showed us a good hotel on the map. We started to walk in that direction, through the town, along the street by the ocean. We saw some loud construction. The hotel was next to it!
We got a room and dropped off our stuff. We walked to a church, but it turned out not to be a church. It was a giant crypt. We went to skip stones. We saw two girls making boats and I cut myself on my pocket knife while I was watching them because I was thinking about walking up and saying hello to them.
We went to our hotel until dinnner time. Then we walked to a nice resterant and I had fried squid. The next morning we took a ferry home. It was fun going on a ferry to Brac!"
The new, fancy batteries for our camera weren't charged yet, so we found some pictures of Brac on the internet:
What the town of Supetar, where we went, looks like
Brac from the air
What the water really looked like - only deeper, so darker blue!
Supetar (on Brac) was really wonderful, especially the graveyard, which is out on a spit of land in the beautiful water, with the incredible mountains of the mainland as a backdrop. Everywhere you go on that side of Brac, the mountains stand across the water from you, huge and beautiful, especially in early or late sunlight. The night we were there it got down to freezing, but we walked to dinner in the middle of town, and ate like pigs, and then huddled together on the walk home. Ruby and Celeste were great, and walked everywhere cheerfully. There were so many things to look at and think about!
Celeste says, when made to write SOMETHING:
"I do no know what to writ. bisides why am I here. bisides I’m tired.
there is a cat who pees in our gardin. Wons I saw him going out of a fens and in too an outside bit of a cafe."
(After a Jaffa Cake, Celeste became more inspired):
"On easter morning. I wok up I lay in bed as long as it takes to hav a sausage boil. And then I got out of bed. I went out too the living room. I saw Dada and then I looked at the tabel ther was a big pil of ICSIYTMINT."
(the last word is "excitement")
More soon, now the camera is finally fixed. We miss you all!
