Somethin' to write home about

Well, the parents are on the final stretch. Only three more days until AIR FRANCE whisks them away to America. They've managed to use a pit latrine(and various other forms of 'places to go'), eat the food, get sick, eat again, navigate through the market, ride in bush taxis, learn how to really appreciate a warm shower, and are still kicking--well, less kicking really and more like shuffling. I can't even begin to tell you how proud I am of their flexibility, willingness, and patience. They amazed me. These past couple of weeks has been an experience none of us will forget anytime soon. I've really enjoyed sharing my life here with my folks as much as, if not more then, they enjoyed seeing it. I'll leave the story telling to them.

I wanted to share pictures with you all but once again I'm experiencing difficulties with technology.

Hello my dear!

I knew your parents would pull through! I am glad to hear they didn't go into a coma from culture shock! ;) I am interested to hear their thoughts on thr trip. Hopefully we'll get to hear some them!

Keep up with the blog. We still miss you out here and love to read about your latest adventures.

BTW -- your profile photo no longer displays.

Take care!
