Bull fight in Malaga (Southern Spain)
Paulo, Duwayne (Iain's Dad) and Iain (Spanish) outside the Ann Frank house in Amsterdam
Canal-side in Amsterdam my first day there. I was not run over by any bicycles (thank Allah).
I ate some seafood paella in Tangier and actually enjoyed it, which is odd because I generally hate seafood. Then, I continued my taste testing that night at a tapas bar with fried fish, calamares and bull teticles to top it all off.
On the beach with Erica in Casablanca... I stole her old-man blue blocker sunglasses
Monkey in the market in Marrakech
Erica in Marrakech monkey heaven.... she loved it. Just look at that smile.
The market in Marrakech at night. Djemma al Fna Square with the monkeys, food vendors, fortune tellers, snake charmers, and the ever-present tourists (I am one to blame).

I am so excited to see your photos! You and Erica look like you are having a wonderful time and your time with Spanish...fun as well!
Aunt Leslie and Uncle Tom are here for the week with the kids before they leave for their new life in Indonesia! I just let Aunt Leslie know that you updated the blog!
Zack just walked in and he said he chatted with you earlier today!
Glad you are enjoying your time off before you head back to your village.
See you in December!

Hey Dave
Something VERY interesting and VERY Cool!
I wanted to learn a little bit about the culture of your village so I Googled - Dimbatoro.
Ha....the only thing that comes up is 2 links to Your Blog!
I then googled images for Dimbatoro and again...6 images show up, all from your blog.
On another note:
Kendall and Judy hosted a PC gathering at their home tonight. I was supposed to go.... and I forogt! I called and they were hosing a get together for 6 or so PCVs - some from back in the day and some newer. I am sorry I missed it as I would have loved to have met the three there that were in MALI! It would have been a nice way to feel connected to you!
And, it would have been so nice to see Kendall and Judy!
Hope this finds you back in Dimbatoro safe and happy!
Love
Mom
PS
Zack is settled in and loves the college life. Who wouldn't!
Hilary is home for the weekend and had a great 1st week of her Sr. year! She is working all weekend.
Mike's interviews are going extremely well! We were discussing next steps if he lands one of the two he is interviewing for. You know... Live in the big city or commute!
Very exciting times.
We will be making flight reservations soon. I am awaiting my "vacation approval".
Dad and Marli are visiting Grampa tonight. Grandma is off with her sisters for annual trip up North.
Grandma and Papa are probably making sure all the planes at the airport are buckled down with Hurricaine coming!
Everyone sends their love....
All for now!
Love
Mom
