Bonjour,

We met the Posts in town this morning to celebrate Danny's birthday.
We met at a play place. Joe went to pay and discovered that they now
have a new schedule. They are closed on Mondays. Today was the first
Monday that they were closed. So, we went with plan B. We went to the
zoo. It rained off and on, but the boys didn't seem to mind. It really
started coming down just as we were finishing. We waited under the
pavilion for the rain to let up. It kept coming down. Joe and Dan took
the umbrellas and went to get the vehicles. We went to Akle for lunch.

Jimmy had ridden with the Peelers this morning to show them where the US
Embassy is. They met us as well. (The Peelers live in Ghana but came
to vote.)

We had a good time of fellowship. Danny was happy with his presents.
Gilbert was excited about the presents too.

We kept everybody awake on the way home, except for Bonnie, so that we
could take a nap when we got home. Danny was telling Gilbert, "Wait
'til we get home, Gilbert." Gilbert was saying, "I don't want Danny to
tell me that." They both needed a nap!

Joe and the boys worked on cleaning the swimming pool while I made
supper. Bonnie is fun to watch. She plays with the jungle gym for
awhile. When she gets tired, she rolls over on her stomach, puts her
thumb in her mouth, and goes to sleep.

Danny and I are still coughing. Bonnie and Gilbert are both congested.
Maybe everyone will be feeling better soon. Joe is going to go out to
Bonoua with Dan tomorrow to make visits; the rest of us are going to
stay home.

A demain,

Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
