Arrived at 7:30 a.m., and the flight was beyond words – truly out of this world! Mom's investment is already justified. Unpacked in the dormitory, given instructions, and now eagerly looking forward to the Skywatch program. The brilliance of the stars and Earth is mesmerizing. Mom must experience this. Explored settlements in the afternoon, similar to Earth but with fewer people. Two hours of self-study and writing, then bed. Tired but thrilled.

Explored the area near the camp, encountered interesting people, and found the shops to be costly. Witnessed a spectacular lunar circus with gymnasts defying gravity. Visited distant settlements, akin to Earth's tribals. More homework and then bed.

Visited the historic site where Neil Armstrong landed, marveling at the oldest place in lunar history. Wondered about the challenges of early lunar exploration. Explored the research lab, a bit technical but informative. Finally stepped outside the artificially maintained environment into the moon's atmosphere, wearing space suits. Saw roadside shops and beautiful earrings, a perfect gift for Mom.

Showed the earrings to Mom, but there's a hitch – they are unexpectedly heavy due to the moon's gravity field. Realized the mistake of buying from a shop in a different gravitational zone. Mom, being understanding, suggested keeping them in the cupboard. Despite the hiccup, the sentiment remains intact. Will add a little note about the mishap, emphasizing the thought behind the gift.

A poem for you to read
All but Blind*
All but blind
In his chambered hole
Gropes for worms
The four-clawed Mole.
All but blind
In the evening sky
The hooded Bat
Twirls softly by.
All but blind
In the burning day
The Barn Owl blunders
On her way.
And blind as are
These three to me,
So, blind to Someone
I must be.
