Hi KATIE: ok! We did receive your 40 pictures. Please remember how you sent them. The street scenes are what we expected - dirt streets, etc. How far is the ocean from where you stayed? Well - now you're there and the adventure begins. Lots of love, Gram and Gramps
Well, guess what I have Katie's phone numbers and if you want them email me and I will send them to you. The pictues are so awesome. And I TALKED to Katie for 4 minutes as my Walmart 75 minute phone cards affords me 4 minutes to Africa. If you buy a phone card you can talk. But better get the high minute ones...
I just viewed the pictures. It looks like an interesting place. I assume the Atlantic Ocean looks the same on your side of the world. All is well here...hoping for rain. Love ya, Diane
