Return

We're home in one piece from Africa. Thank you
for those that called, emailed, and sent text messages.
It was a good trip, and something that most folks
will never experience. The two things that stick-out
the most were Rwanda, and the pumpkin soup in
Tanzania.

Two days ago in Accra, we did a little shopping, and
I bought a piece of Kinte Cloth. It's really amazing
looking. It was NOT inexpensive, but it's so unusual
in the pattern and colors. While there is no practical
use or place for it, it serves as a reminder of a wild
"different day, different country" trip. I will do a recap
in a day or so to go over some of the gory details.

I can say that Liberia is a place I haven't a desire to
visit again- after being there twice in one day! It
would be nice to go back to Tanzania. It was so
relaxing there. Quite, peaceful, a nice breeze, and
of course, pumpkin soup. The staff was so moved
by the tip we left for them. Talk about being guilty:
We left them about ten dollars a piece. What we
waste each week on coffee and gum. They each make
about two dollars a week. Do the math.

I emailed Lisa that I'd like her to look a the memory
card from the camera and do what she can with
the pictures I've taken. We'll see.

When I got home last night, I had dirt in my pockets
and hair. It was from the stuff the helicopter and
AF1 stirred up in Monrovia!

Be good!
