I am amazed that you have the energy and enthusiasm to write about all that you have endured/enjoyed at the end of a hard day - when I would just want a beer, a book - and bed! I will keep reading - it is fascinating. Good luck and keep going, Heather Rae Hi Eric,

You allow us to be there, only the easy way. You are writing so interestingly that I feel I can taste the food, suffer the insults of stones thrown, and rejoice at normal plumbing. Above all, you seem to have a supreme command of a positive attitude, in the face of all the difficulties. You’re on the right track!! We thank you greatly for your stories.

Today I had a day hiking with the mountain group of the university. We had a good day with southwest wind and clear atmosphere. Everyone enjoys the summit under the sun. We had lunch. today tapas. At the end we enjoy a beer in an old bar in a mining town. I walk...you ride. I'm at home waiting for the dinner to come. It's been a good day. Reading your news makes it better.

Cole and Bailey are still planning how they are going to raise funds for you at school and think 'Nannie' is going to help by baking. Good luck and keep the blogs coming.

Every Sunday I cannot wait to read what you have experienced.It is good reading. And I enjoy your sense of humour. The children cannot wait for you to come. They want to brag with their soccer playing etc., Julia left and we have replaced her with a man in his late thirtees. So 7 boys moved to Julia's house. The boys are quite exited about the change. Andile is also a soccer player. Eric best wishes for the week ahead - till next Sunday!! Tia Eric dont even consider it not to tell us what is happening.
