How are you doing? It’s getting cold here now. I’m realizing now I forgot to tell you about the bicycle event we have here every year. Omg. Mom made a giant paper mache head and tail of a cat and mouse and attached them to her and Aaron’s bikes. There’s a sort of parade in town where people decorate their bikes to look insane and then go around the block a few times. Here are some pictures. I did not get very good ones.
It was pretty fun. Some guy built a giant dome around his bicycle that held up the whole parade. I’m not sure if it counted as a bicycle anymore.
It seems everyone is getting prepared for Halloween now. There’s already candy in the stores. I bought a bag of butterfingers to eat every time I finish a paper at school (they don’t have them in England). Speaking of, my flight is next Friday, so I’ll write to you on Thursday. I’m going to miss summer. I don’t like being away from home. But I’ve been feeling that for many years now, so it’s been tolerable.
Life, besides this, is uneventful. Encroaching anxiety about school is there, but typical. I hope you’re doing alright. I imagine school’s already started, because American schools aren’t as weird. I hope you’re settling in fine. I love you.
With love,
Alice
