WE ARE HERE

okay we are here. the flight was okay not too bad...i actually was supposed to pay about $125 in houston at the airport because each bag was about 70 pounds but the lady forgot to charge me and i realized it when i got inside the airport and didnt go back to tell her. i cant lie i am afraid...adom actually left houston sick...i thought it was just allergies...but last night after we got here he woke in the middle of the night crying with a fever...so i think it is some cold or something my neice was at my house and her mother told me that she had strep throat about a week prior and that she shouldn't be contagious...well i think she may have been ... at any rate he is running a fever of about 99 - 100 degrees and i have been giving him tylenol...other than that he seems to be in good spirits and when the plane first touched down he was looking out of the window and the first thing he said was "momma i thought you said people in africa dont have much?" i guess from what he could tell it seemed that people had a lot. he has been somewhat playful and his usual self other than the discomfort of this cold or whatever it is...I HATE THIS...him being sick that is...

we spent the night at another fulbrighters house last night...a family. the wife has a fulbright and her husband is a pastor and they have 3 children 11, 14 1nd 15 i believe...we ate spagetti, salad, apple slices, and bread.....talked...i think they may be considering getting a church here...at any rate they like it...she teaches computer science courses at ashesi university and they are from austin texas
