I donºt like saying who I voted for, and every time someone asks and I say I donºt want to say the go ´oo that means you voted for Mccain´, like wtf, maybe I just donºt think that it is any of your buisness. The whole point of our electoral system is that people donºt know who you voted for, so that you can actually make your own decisions... geez. Everyone here and every European that Iºve met here too is a huge Obama supporter and just love talking all about him, which is fine, but than it always comes down to, because heºs black, which I just think is not the reason you should vote for someone. I found that it is extremely hard to try to explain that to people, that you should vote for someone that you believe will be the best president, not because of the color of their skin... Anyway, I went on a little tyraid there. But the other day I called you again, and I thought that I actually got threw to you but it was just an echo, and so I talked to myself for a couple of minutes... which was embarassing to say the least, when the lady at the store asked me who I talked to... haha. OOo well I will try to call you again, Iºm not sure why Iºve had so many issues. Hope you have a great halloween, and post more pictures soon!Cathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623187283626837442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259775659566175871.post-6341817126217041592008-10-28T17:07:00.000-07:002008-10-28T17:07:00.000-07:00Ahhh, my beautiful God-Daughter.

You look fantastic and I was so glad to see you face .... made me realize, that much more, how much I miss you :-) Ms. Scout is quite the "looker" ... She could stop traffic. Only kidding. Your Mom and I were talking about what big feet and ears she has, but I guess there are many varieties of cats… even in Africa. Anyway, she's going to look just lovely in the collar and leash ensemble Uncle Mike and I sent her along in your box of goodies. We also put in a flea collar and some cat treats ... Pounce ... mmm mmmm good. I sent you some great things too like new pony tail holders, foot cream, lots and lots of crystal light, oatmeal raisin protein bars, chicken, tuna and salmon packs ... you get the drift. I've got the makings of another box and will start putting it together for you Birthday/Christmas. Again, you look wonderful and it brought my heart such joy to see your face and that beautiful smile. Love you millions .........

It's true - you do look marvelous, and you look happy too! I'm sure those nasty children get on your nerves though. What do they say to you when you respond to their yovo comments? Maybe they like to see you get upset by it - not too different than the bullies here at home. Try to let it go if you can white girl, those scary spiders and scorpions are worse. I accidently discovered I can enlarge your pictures and they are so cool. First of all, I'm hoping that little girl with the head wrap on the left in the group shot is not one of the nasty kids. She is adorable. What is the artwork on the ground all about? It looks important and I'm guessing that is why you gathered around it. In the shot with the python(you crazy thing), what type of building is on the right. It has a metal grate window and it looks interesting. Speaking of interesting - that dutch oven has me confused. I know you explained it before but I don't get it. You'll have to demonstrate when you get home. No fancy restaurants for you - we'll have a cookout and you can show us all what you learned. Bet you can't wait! About that giant statue. Ironically, it's the only picture I can't enlarge, not that it needs enlarging, oh my! Can't wait to see more of you life through pictures. As always, you are loved and missed. Be well and be safe.

I tried to call once again today and it didn't work but I did get your text again, i will have to try and figure that out.Cathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623187283626837442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259775659566175871.post-17788278582943290112008-10-27T11:36:00.000-07:002008-10-27T11:36:00.000-07:00Great pictures Catherine.

Thanks for taking the time to upload them.<BR/><BR/>Knowing that it takes so much time maybe one of your home and another one from your fam. would be great the next time. <BR/><BR/>Don't let the children get to you. It's probably a game to them since they do not have other things to do. By the way - how old are these kids? Should they not be in school, or is this occuring during repas? Speaking of games, aside from harassing you, what do children do there to amuse themselves. Do they play football (soccer) in the streets? Do they play cricket there or baseball? <BR/><BR/>What do the adults do when they are harassing you like this? Do they just ignore it or do they urge them on?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, miss you and can't wait to talk to you soon!<BR/>Love you!Maman et Papahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09957702337996968865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259775659566175871.post-39506458392435444712008-10-27T10:00:00.000-07:002008-10-27T10:00:00.000-07:00Again, first commenter, wahooo!!!

Don't worry, haven't forgotten what you look like. Oh "love" the snake as a boa, nice fashion sense, hehe. About the voting thing, well that's just the way things are I guess as we happily talked about. Good for you to stay firm with your principles. Sad news about that dog, :( voodoo capital of the world, huh. Oh my, well guess you kinda have halloween very day, hehe. Well again loved the pictures. Stay safe! Miss ya!
