Dispatch from Bo (a.k.a. El Peluche*)

Note to readers: The following dispatch was dictated to us by Bo in Alien Language.  We have attempted to preserve its meaning in English to the best of our abilities.  -the editors

 "Hello everyone."

"I wanted to show you the beautiful things in our garden.  First, some of the plants and flowers."  [Note: all photos by Bo.]

"If you get very very unfocusedly close, you can really appreciate the lovely colors."

"Oh!  And I almost forgot – check out this cool cave!  I love to hide inside it."

"That's all for now.  And as we say on my planet: Sing-gai!"

* Funny story. Bo earned this new nickname, meaning "the stuffed animal," on a recent boat ride across the lake. A local family was sitting behind us, father, mother, and little girl all clearly fascinated by the kids. While the little girl stole soft, quick touches of Zadi's hair whenever she could get away with it, the father and mother were busy staring at Bo. After a few minutes, the father proclaimed that he looked like a little "peluche."  He does.
