Also loved Rajiv! I am reminded of all those years in Belize (22!) during which I wrote at least once a month, usually twice, to my parents. My mother saved many of my blue foldable airmail letters, and perhaps it is time to find the box they are inhabiting.

Rajiv is such a multi-talented artist. I do recommend that you check out that box. You can learn a lot from what's in them. My parents didn't talk much about their past, so going through these letters has been a revelation; and I also didn't expect to learn so much about history from them...

Amazing footage. How brave she was to venture into the unknown!

Thanks, Nancy. Yes, the film really brought it home to me, somehow. She had never traveled away from her family or to other countries before that. I'm not sure she'd even been on a ship!
