Dear Daughter,
Today at school, the students put on a performance for a Teacher Appreciation Day in the auditorium. They had various dances and songs and a couple of speeches. Papa did not have his camera today unfortunately, so I can just tell you about it. One of the classes had been learning about Poland, so they had on Polish costumes and danced to Polish music. This may sound strange to see in India, but it was like when your class was learning about the Indianen from America, and you had a dance too. Do you remember? They were called Indians because the people from Europe who first saw them thought that they had landed in India, and did not know it was a whole other world! Now, when we go to New Mexico, and see them there, they are called Native Americans because they were the first people to live in America.
Papa will be sure to have his camera with him every day from now on. There are always surprises here.
I love you,
Papa
