Dear …..(name)

I have wanted to write to you for a long time, but it has been very complicated to
communicate with you, I have had coverage problems in the high mountains 🗻. I
have been wanting to tell you for a long time how valuable it is to have good news
from you. I know from your letter that you are a full-time dental pediatrician.
I have been working in the highest area of Cerro de Pasco with a Canadian NGO
dedicated to ecological agriculture. The funny thing is that it is very cold here, but it
is easy for me, because a great part of my childhood I lived at high altitude and
together with the farmers, whith them I´ve learn to sow the seeds and share the
food in a prayer to mother Earth and God. I still remember when you were
nineteen, I miss those moments we shared together. In my plans for next summer is
to spend a couple of months with my sister and my dad in Ica, then I will visit you
for a few days in Trujillo to talk and see you again and have a nice time at the all
places and moments that I care and miss.
I look forward to contacting you and going out for an ice cream 🍦 on the beach and
drink Soda and Pisco sours in the afternoon and taking a walk until nightfall 🌃,
before returning to Ica. 🏠
Hugs and take care of yourself.
Sincerely

José. ♧
