hello!!! i am still alive but thinner or in french maigré (i think). i have gotten several letters and am so happy!!! thanks to everyone and i will try very hard to get back to you. it is kind of chère (expensive) to send letters so i am trying to wait for someone going to the the u.s. to mail them there.
so i have been getting along very well lately. burkina faso is really growing on me. we found a place to get cold milk!! and i am a marché junkie. it is so great; you can find anything!!! i got a lord of the rings shirt, a teapot, a belt, and tons of other treasures! it is like a thrift-store DREAM.
jon and i have been going to yoga and that has been great; although last nite a blister beetle crawled in my pants and stung my butt about five times!! we also got to spend a few days in ouagadougou and that was amazing. the food there is other-worldly compared to village food, although i LOVE LOVE LOVE benga (aka: beans and rice).
well i better go, but i have two little funny things to say 1. i heard a new version of sting's song "i'm an englishman in new york." it is reggae and it goes "i'm a rasta-man from ouaga." dad, you would have died!
2. there is a city close to pissila ( aka piss-town) and it is cqlled poutanga! that is for you, brian!!
love to everyone and stay in touch! you can also leave comments on this blog and i will feel special!! i'll mail some letters soon!!!!

Hello Heathy! I laughed and I cried! You are the least likely shopper I know but it sounds like that is changing. I love you, Mama
One more thing! What is with the bum problems. Just too cute for the exotic thingys to resist? More luv, Mama
Hey Heather, It's Rachel _ I have been thinking of you lately and wanted to say HI but I didn't know your address so I googled your name and your cute little face came right up. I can't believe your are in Africa!!!!! It sounds like a fun adventure. Tell me your email or how to find your blogs cause I love reading them. I have been on an adventure for the last week, I OPENED an embroidery shop. I still don't believe every morning that I'm going to work for myself - I still feel like someone should be there to tell me what to do. I am right beside The Runner Etc. on Main and Mississippi (across from the donut shop --BONUS!!) I've had a few customers, but with Christmas coming up I will be swamped. Halen's birthday was today 10/7 he is 11 now and I can't believe I have a kid that old - now i'm making myself feel old. It won't get any better cause on the 24th Bradley will be 5 - Time flys when your running up and down the road taking kids here and there. Well I'll let you go and i'm so glad I found you - have a good day and I'll talk to ya soon!! Love ya Heather - BE SAFE
