pdx>niamey

We left the condo at 5:15 am yesterday and got home around 9:30 am today, Portland time, 5:30 pm Niamey time. Wow, is that a long trip. Next time we stay over in Paris, just to stretch our legs and not have to spend more than 24 hours of solid travel time.

Pierre and Zoure were here to greet us, Zoure all dressed up with gold earrings and everything. A lot of big trees have been trimmed in the yard making the house brighter than ever. It’s so clean, Zoure came a few days early to clean and it’s bigger than I remembered. Peter’s nurse brought over a dinner she left in the fridge.

We wandered around the house and then ran to our favorite corners. Camille is watching “That’s so Raven” I’m on the computer and Stefan is playing with cars. Peter had to run to meet a regional medical officer who is taking our same plane back to France tonight at midnight.

    I’m glad to hear you made it A OK! The prison sentence has started again; counting the days for your return. Reminds me of a job I had in San Quentin; a guard told me that you could tell went a prisoner will come right back. I guess I saw it in your eyes too.

    Couldn’t you see me on a 24 hr. flight. A stop in Paris for a few weeks might help, but I doubt it.
    I thought about you all day and wondered how close you were to Africa. I don’t care if the plane was late or early as long as it got you there safely!
    Thanks so much for the quick e-mail as I had my nails down to nothing.
    Love, Love, Love
