W'apow mu e, 

I got up this morning and had no fever and felt pretty good.  After making breakfast and getting the kids to school, I came home and did some chores around the house before heading off to town.  I got to witness to several people this morning as I was doing my running around.  

At the post office today there was a package from my sister, Lori, filled with stuff for Laura.  Thank you Punky!  It was a lot of Amish baking supplies.  

Their was a riot in town today and some men were burning tires and causing a commotion.  The police came and shot some tear gas grenades into the crowd.  The men got angry at the police for doing that and three people were killed in the violence that followed.  It looked very much like a normal day in Ivory Coast, but I have never seen anything like that here in Ghana.  It started out as a demonstration against the government for the neglect of the roads.  When I found that out I wanted to donate a few tires for the cause! HA!

After all of my running around in town I realized that I may have tried to do too much and I started to feel sick again.  I hate malaria!

I went and got the kids from school and they went right for the pool as soon as they got home.  They are going to grow some gills if they keep swimming like this.

We are all worn out this evening!  Danny fell asleep in a fort that he built and I had to drag him out.  I thought he woke up and so I told him to go to the bathroom before he went to bed.  Then I found Bonnie asleep and took her to bed.  I went to tuck Danny in and he was not in bed but I found him after some searching in the shower sound asleep with his cloths on! HA!  I guess he was not really awake when I told him to go to the bathroom.  Then during all of that, Bonnie woke up and asked if breakfast was ready yet!  When I told her that it was bed time, you would have thought I called her a bad name or something.  She was prepared to take that case all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary.  

Nantsew yie!
