Bonne annee

Happy new year. We took a photo in 1980 with the words bonne annee printed in it and Pop kept calling it Bonnie Annie. Works for me.

Anyway that was the greeting of choice when we arrived here almost two weeks ago. We spent most of the first week in Libreville and we've been in the village for a week now.

Work us exhausting, and we're not even doing the hard stuff. People have been exceptionally nice and welcoming. Mary is a big hit with the village women who call her over when she's out walking.

There are many adjustments, such as the kitchen and the shower. Much has changed in 35 years, such as cell service in the village so that I can post to Pops Weekly Letter, some electricity each day so we can charge our phones and even television so we can watch Mexican soap operas dubbed into French.

Keeps those cards and letters coming, okay emails. Love hearing any news but especially yours.

Go Patriots. Africa Cup in soccer starts today. Photo is of Mary and our Dutch friend Henk walking home after work.
