dear mother.
I am very happy on my honeymoon here in Paris. There is a new invention called the cinema in
which you are able to see people on an enormous screen.
It is beautiful. It is almost real except everything is black and white. The movie theater is a big
room and all the lights are off. There is a pianist playing music while you watch the movie. People
say that one day we will be able to watch movies with sound. Can you imagine that? And to think
that some years ago we were not able to capture images in photographs.
We went to see "The trip to the moon". A group of six brave astronomers decide to travel to the
Moon. They build a space capsule in the shape of a bullet and a enormous cannon to shoot in to
space.
Do you think this will be possible someday? In my opinion, man won not be able to travel to the
Moon. Just imagine. the boat from Lima took thirty - seven days to get to Europe. How long will it
take to get to the Moon? I think it will definitely take more than fourteen minutes (that is how
long the movie lasted!). The Wright brothers are trying to build an aircraft, but will man ever be
able to build flying machines? Maybe they will fly very low and very short distances.
We will take the boat black next week and I will see you in about six weeks.
All my love.
