Today, we received two interesting packages by post.
Haley and Cindy sent birthday gifts for Catherine and Mark. Thanks! The Winnie the Pooh kite was really interesting for Catherine. She insisted that there was "really a lot of wind today." But, of course, there wasn't hardly a breath of a breeze. We went across the street to the park to try it anyway.
Mark received an envelope full of letters from his classmates back in America. Thanks everyone! He enjoyed reading each one.
This evening, I went to a discussion, led by our friend Amanda, about South Africa's political "low road" following the upcoming election. It was pretty depressing. Next week is the "high road," that is if Amanda can find it. That was Amanda's joke, not mine. She was pretty pessimistic tonight. I'm hoping for a bit more optimism next week.
