Pat Down Pima

3rd January

 

I’ve been here a few months. I’m done with school so I get to go out and do a lot of gardening and tree trimming and stuff with my brother. We go out early and comeback mid day. It gets hot. I have another six weeks to go. They do a pretty good pat down on us when we come back.
