Feb 3 - Family visit!

The last two weeks have been great fun - my family came to visit me in Guinea!  It's been fun to watch the Guinean people respond, especially, to my parents.  EVERYONE LOVES THEM!  They've become "Mama et Papa" to everyone they meet.  I was a touch worried about how they'd do with no electricity and no water and walking and walking - and they've been fabulous.  Real troopers.  I'm very proud of them.  They've discovered a little coffee shop (I use the term VERY loosely) where they got cafe au lait (with sweetened condensed milk) and "omelette sandwishes."  Great fun and a real blessing. My brother, James, and I are still big in the drumming!
