Bonjour,

This morning, we headed into Abidjan to do our bulk shopping. After we finished that, we ate lunch at a Lebanese restaurant. The boys and I shared a hamburger and fries. Joe had schwarmas, and Gilbert ate some of that too.

When we were almost done eating, the Litsons and Margie came walking in to eat lunch too. Gilbert got so excited when he saw the girls.

We stopped at one more store to get printer cartridges before heading home. While we were walking around in there, we found a microwave for a really good price. The one that we had was a used one that had someone had given us, and it was on its last leg. So, we got the microwave – another birthday present! : )

Danny fell asleep in the cart at the store. He slept all the way home. Gilbert fell asleep on the way home too. Gilbert continued his nap after we got home, but Danny was ready to play.

Joe rode with Matt to the townhall for the wedding ceremony there this afternoon. They got home before we got back from our walk. We will all go to the ceremony at the church on Saturday. Everyone from the church has outfits made out of the same material. We will have to take some pictures.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, and Danny
