One of the many beautiful stones we didn’t find. Did find five (one each) stones that aren’t worth much but do have some good color in them. Nice to have, to remember our mining days with, anyway. Sunning and swimming on the Gold Coast now and are off to Brisbane soon to earn some money so we can be off again.

Do these dancers look kind of familiar to you? We saw a dancing show yesterday – many of same steps you learned. Bill took lots of pictures! It is to be 96 degrees here today. We joined the worshipers a the Temple of the Emerald Buddha yesterday – very impressive.
Tomorrow (Bill’s birthday) we leave for Singapore for 2 days. Have a good weekend!

Not quite exact, but appropriate! The Vikings won they first play-of game and this week thanks to Pillsbury who bought out the last tickets we can all watch on TV again. Glad to hear K and bags arrived in Nairobi – hope the safari was great – we are all envious!

It is zero C. today, cloudy and chilly. I will walk up to my shopping area but not buy much to have to carry. Bill goes to Ethiopia Sat. so I won’t need so much food for a week. A friend from IITA will be here the weekend Bill gets back, then Dave and Mary Bell will be here the next week, but they will stay in a hotel. We had a nice dinner at the airport with Lowell Hardin Tues. nite (he was on his way to NY) and Alicia was here for supper last night. Hope all is well.
Love to you, Dede

The trip over was long as usual. Got in about 11:00 pm. Just bit late. I am just lying by the pool and resting.
This hotel is very nice about like the Mandarin in Jakarta in many ways but with a larger pool!
All OK so far. Will write regularly.
Love, Bill
