Thruout history, people have built roads and bridges to help them get from
one place to another. Unfortunately, the straitest path between two places
was often blocked by rivers and mountains. Engineers worked long hours to
develop a strategie to overcome such obstacles. Not only did they have to
design tunnels and bridges, but they also had to work out a schedual to get
them built on time. The strane on the workers who built the railroads was
also great. Often laborers who blasted tunnels in the side of mountains had
to scrambel for safety to avoid being blown up themselves!

Dear Mike,
We’re having a great time in Williamsburg, Virginia. Did you know it used to be the
capitel of Virginia? We saw workers dressed like the early colinists. A man pretending to
be Patrick Henry gave a famous speech. He said, “Give me libbertie or give me death.”
We visited the large house where the governer used to live. At nearby Jamestown we
saw a movie about the first English setalmeant there. Then we drove to a plantayshun
that used to grow cotton and tobacco. Next week you can see all of our pictures.

As I write this to you, I am filled with excitment. Mother took me to see the
turtles hatch. It was night, and the beach was very peacefull. Then a
remarkible thing happened. The countliss turtle babies hatched! Hundreds of
tiny, defenceless turtles crawled awkwardly across the sand. Once they
started to swim in the ocean, they were very grayceful. I made friends with
one turtle. I hope to see her again next year.
