Sorry I haven't been in touch for a while. Been deep inside the Congo with no internet access.

Am a bit sick to the stomach. But, am doing OK.

The people here have a joy on their faces and in their actions that literally overwhealms me. I can't beleive that so many people who do not have saving's accounts, stocks and bonds, 401k's, regular salaries and benefits, credit cards, cars (not even one!!!)...they don't even have clothes or shoes!!! I can't believe how happy these people are!!! How can this be? How can anyone without all that stuff be happy?

Amazing!!!
