I agree- no terrorist winnings. It’s sad to say, travel just isn’t the same as it was twenty years ago. I am praying for your safety.

BUT… I’m glad that the temperatures are easing! I wish I could say the same for here, ugh hot. (I know I don’t have it as bad as you though, so I will stop the whining.)

I miss you… when are going to be back out in PA?

Wow. Today’s blog was really powerful! I too have the same concerns for you. Please be extra careful. I do not want the terorists to win either way.

Happy the weather is a little better or you are more tolerant. Keep up the good thoughts.

Love you.
Mom

i can’t imagine living with that fear on a daily basis, and i think in the end the only viable solution is to try to push it aside. that being said, i’ve been thinking much about you (i.e. worrying) as i’ve been reading the news about all of this violence.

on a more positive note, your excursions into other areas have been fascinating to read about!! i think that despite any possible risks, it is worth while to take advantage of the fact that you are in this place that for most of us is so very far away.

glad to hear you are maybe adjusting a bit more to the vastly different conditions there and having some more positive experiences!

miss you!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I bet they were wondering who you expected to die on your wedding day :p

You are right about the white-as-mourning thing.
