Hejsan alla inte längre så resesugna pensionärer.

Idag ska jag skriva ännu ett brev till min kära gamla mormor. Nu har jag varit i Kalifornien och Arizona och lite i Mexico. Hon testade faktiskt att köra i vagnarna utan hästar sen mitt förra brev, men då bröt hon armarna och sitter nu hemma och äter kaffebönor. Men nog om det. Nu ska jag skriva brev, så nu kör vi!

Dear Mothermother!

Today I am in Mexico, waiting for the train that goes to Chitchen Itza. My first days here have been fantastic. I have visited Californa, Arizona and Mexico. And I am going to tell you about them all. Let us begin with California...

I landed in Los Angeles at ten o'clock pm. It was totally dark, and I was a bit scared. I had heard about gangsters and robbers here. Good the airport was very lighted up. When I landed I first saw Edvin walking around. I took up my slingshot and shot a stone in his head. He did not felt anything. Then I took an empty pizza box and shot it. He felt it, took it, and ate it. Then I went away. I ordered a taxi and jumped in. I was about to travel to the Seqouia National Park, a beatiful mountain and forest area. I became more and more tired, and at last I begun to sleep... when I woke up we were there. Quickly I jumped out of the car and payed him with swedish money. He begun to throw apples at me. At the Park Center I met a park keeper. He led me into the National Park to a big, big tree. Well, all trees were big here, so it was nothing special with this tree. I climped up and crawled into a camoflated hide. At last I could sleep. Ahhh...

When I woke up I took up my camera and put it on the tripod. All that was missing now was the birds. But I did not have to wait long. After just half an hour the first bird appear. It was a common redstart. *Klick* *Klick* Then the birds appeared one after one. Pileated woodpecker, Grace's warbler, blackburnian warbler, blue jay and lots and lots of more. And at the end of the day a common raven appear. I was so happy.

Then I ordered a taxi back to Los Angeles. I drove to a hotel and ordered a room. All rooms were full. I threw an apple in her face, took a room key and laid the money on the desk. When I opened my room it laid an old woman in the bed. I wnet out from there faster than Edvin can eat a hamburger. A took another room and begun to sleep fast.

Next day I went out to see the town Los Angeles. I became tired on it after twenty minutes, so I went to phograph some waders instead. But after two hours I heard a loud sound. It was bank robbers who escaped in a car. They zoomed by me and pulled me into the car... I know you now scream, but please don't, you will swoon... but anyway, I had a secret weapon. I took up one of my daddys socks. All three robbers swoon and I had to drive the car. I drove it into a wall and jumped out. It said "boom" like a firework.

And the next day I drove to Arizona, and Grand Canyon. Just a quick visit. I tried to see the endangred Californien condor, but I didn't. But I saw many turkey vulture and a road runner. But then I drove down to Mexico. I knew it was dangerous because they had a sickness there. When I came to the tollgate I tried to tell them waht I was scared for.
- You know, the... pig cups!
They didn't understand.
- Swine influenza?
They didn't understand that either.
- Hog flu!?!
- Where? Where?
- Not fly, flu!
I threw some rotten apples in their faces and drove in.

I drove out in the stone desert to not be infected. There I took up my tent. It became a nice photo day there to. And now I wait for the train to the pyramids of Chichen Itza. Have it nice, and dont broke your legs.

Yours sincerly, Rasmus

Hejdå, ha det bra!
