\nRay<\/FONT><\/B><\/A> … I am having a lot of fun here and am meeting a
\nlot of really, really nice people from all over the world. We do <\/FONT>sports<\/FONT><\/B><\/A> for one hour every day and we get to sing along to all kinds of <\/FONT>music<\/FONT><\/B><\/A>. Our counselors are really crazy!… (Once a counselor accidentally splashed pee-pee<\/FONT><\/B><\/A> on my bunkmate’s

\nHa ha ha.<\/FONT><\/P>
