Bonjour,

This morning, we went into Abidjan.  As we were driving, the sun was shining right on Gilbert.  He said, “Mom, the sun is blinking me.”

We went downtown first.  We made a couple stops there.  When we went to cross the bridge, the road to both bridges was blocked because the President was about to come through.  We saw his car go buy; there were twelve vehicles in the entourage.  Then, the roads opened back up.

We went to the bulk food store.  We bought some frozen things.  So, we ate lunch and headed home before our frozen things thawed out.  Both boys fell asleep right after we got back in the car.

I took a nap when we got home.  Joe played with the boys.  Then, the boys and I went for a walk.  Gilbert went to play with the girls when we got back.

A demain,
