Bonjour,

Joe went into Abidjan this morning to start the process of getting the paperwork for our car in our name.   When he went to the office that does the paperwork, they told him that there were several other steps that had to be taken first.  So, he spent the morning going to the different offices to get the correct stamps and signatures.

Bob Engelhart was headed into Abidjan this afternoon.  So, Joe rode with him to turn the paperwork in.  It will take several weeks for the paperwork to be processed.

The boys still have the stomach bug today.  Danny seems to be getting over it, but it is still hanging on for Gilbert.  We started him on a different medicine today.

The water has been off quite a bit lately.  Our tank is very low.  We thought we might have a night without power as well, but it came back on after about thirty minutes.  Danny must have been tired because he stayed asleep without any air moving.  Gilbert hadn’t gone to bed yet; so, he had fun playing with the flashlight.

A demain,
