Mind bringing a little of that Italian food along when you come? Provence is treating you well I imagine. And we in Kenya will attempt to do the same when you arrive. Sounds like some dancing may be necessary to the mix tape. Nothing funkier than the Afro-Scottish groove.

Love to both of you lovely travellers,

David

Chris & I are sitting here eating Italian food in our hotel room in Aix and reading your blog. Our friend from Scotland just offered to send us an African mix CD if we give him our next location address–perfect timing. First off, we hope your ears are better as much as it’s nice to mute the gray noise.

Looks like your project is going great and we can’t wait to add a few stones to the wall.

And, we can’t wait to SEE YOU.

Love,
Debi & Chris

The ear is getting better the blockage is intermittent now, and mostly gone, but from time to time I slip back “under the water” for a little quiet time.

The trees send their greetings. We have intertwined the lower branches together all around the property so as they grow they will form the barrier we need in place.

More of our inspirational volunteers soon!

Actually we hired in a crane from Daystar to hoist me up to the top. It had a ten ton load limit, so we squeezed in just under. I’m trying to lay off the chapati.

Corpulently yours,

David

I’m just finalizing the purchase of the roof material…pushing for a little better discount. Should take two weeks or so to fill the order, it’s made specifically to fit our architectural plans, and by then we will be ready.

When the container gets here…the 40′ one that’s being filled with all sorts of tools and machinery, we plan to make a good deal of our own furniture. Simple but durable.

And yes, it requires a rares ssteady hand to man the tripod at such altitude. Best to you and Dottie,

David
