Dear Jenny,
I'm on Earth in 2014. I've decided to stay the week and have rented out a rather nice hotel room in northern Italy. Italy is a country on Earth. The country is marked by rich culture, beautiful music, and food with lots of carbohydrates.
This is a postcard of the shower in my hotel room. Now, normally it might seem strange for a father to send his daughter a postcard of the shower, but really this is completely interesting. The black tiles in the shower are heat sensitive and cause a variety of color changes depending on the heat of the water. It's called the "Northern Lights" tiles because the colors are always moving, referencing the human polar auroras that causes color variations in the atmosphere due to magnetism and I realized explaining this will take up more room on the postcard than I have. Remind me to explain it later.
Humans are so interesting, Jenny. Even such little, simple technologies like heat color transfer; they use it in the most creative ways.
I hope you'll get to see them one day.
Love,
Dad
