stacy

sorry, that was a long hiatus, and still i don't really feel inspired to write anything of consequence. one excuse is that i've been traveling quite a bit and have not frequently been able to connect. despite the fact that my travel should have afforded me ample subject matter for written reflection, en lieu of more substantial food for your thoughts, i'll leave you with my friend stacy. perhaps you've met her before. she went swimming for her first time last weekend when i brought her and a gang of our burundian friends to spend the day at saga resha, a most wonderful beach located an hour's drive south of bujumbura. she calles me brandoni because it's difficult for a native speaker of kirundi to end words on a consonant. that makes me feel italian, and makes her even cuter.

shawn and i have already penciled in our trip to africa. it is the one at the very top of the list, so expect us as soon as we pay off our school debts in the months of july and august. not this summer, perhaps not the next, but the one after that for sure. and i would like to meet this absolutely adorable girl. she is precious.
love you lots.

She is adorble!! I am sure that you are getting attached to a lot of people.
Because of your last couple of writings I am more conscious of what we want and need and how it is packaged. Thanks for reminding us on how much we take things for granted.

Love ya
