Email from Leo

Dear Ma.
A short email-hello from me and Rafa here in sunny Crete. And hello from uncle Yorgos too, we’ve helped him pick a lot of his delicate olives and he’s very grateful, that we’re here.
By the way, the trees in Greece carry all kind of nice eatable stuff, the other day we climbed a palm and found lots of nice bananas. In general, the fruit here is quite nice.
I must admit, Ma, working here in this heat has been kinda hard, but luckily we’ve have had lots of spare time, too.
We’ve spend some of that spare time ninjaing randomly around, the other day we went fishing and we’ve kept in shape playing some football.
And you’d love this, Ma, we’ve found an absolue killer spot for sunbathing, too.
The food here is lovely. We’ve tried a lot of different pizzas with local ingredient, and some it it has been surpricingly good.
Of course, we’ve tried some of the local beers too, and last night I got Rafa so drunk he fell asleep on his shield, ROFL, no ROFLMAO, actually!

I’ve attached some pictures for you, Ma, just click ‘em if you want to see ‘em in larger versions.

As you can tell from the pictures, Ma, we’re doing good, and you don’t need to worry about us. We’re looking forward to getting back home to you.
Rafa, Yorgos and everybody else says hi.

Love you, Ma.
Yours
Leo

    Loving Rafa and the football, did he hit i far?
    Seems that the “one side smile” expression fits every situation. Maybe i’ll try it my self for a while.

    Is “Ma” short for Master Splinter?

    Regards

    He kicked the ball all the way to Athens.
    And yeah, that signature “one side smile” is amazing. And when amazing, why not abuse it for every situation?

    BTW, Ma is of course short for Mother.
