Also, I have a question for you guys. You can view a larger version of the letter when you click on the image, and I think that makes it pretty easy to read, but did you prefer it when I wrote the transcriptions too?

"Hi Stranger!

I'm writing to share a beautiful thing that happened to me here in this beautiful Island I'm currently working. I feel wonderful and sad at the same time. I met this creature with the most beautiful pair of eyes I've ever seen in my life. He came to the resort the other day, with a girlfriend unfortunately. I thought he was really beautiful. His eyes were captivating. Today he joined our table for a bit to interview my boss for a newsletter that he's working on. I couldn't help not to stare in those beautiful eyes of his. I apologized for apearing to be foolishly unable to concentrate on whatever he was saying and just stare.. He didn't look away, and said he doesn't mind. For a minute we were just looking at each other's eyes, and I thought I didn't want it to end.. He was wearing a gray shirt and I thought his eyes got the shade of gray. I asked him if they change color and he said 'sometimes'. depends on what shirt he's wearing. I said I wonder how they'd look if he's wearing blue. He just smiled and said nothing. After an hour he came up to me and my boss while we were working. And lo and behold he was wearing a blueish, ash colored shirt. And when he looked at me, amazingly his eyes were pale bluish. He said his goodbyes, kissed me on the cheeks and walk away.. They're heading back to the city today...
  
Now Im here in my room, still in the same island.. but feeling different. Did I just miss my chance of happiness,.. I wonder.. or was it really just that..  a piece of one sweet encouter with just another stranger..

till then,
stranger from the island"
