alive and well

just wanted to give an update  - thought it will be general for reasons I mentioned prior to our departure.

(this keyboard is "sticking" so please excuse typing errors)

our friends here are very grateful for our presence - they are very encouraged

all went well - very well

days were long but good discussions

things are very difficult here for our friends, i'll have to wait until i get home to let you know about that.

thanks for thinking of us

thanks for taking this journey with us,

the guys
