Hey David - I've been following your posts! They are so much fun to ready - You seem to be having a great time. The weather here is quite sucky but hopefully it will be more spring-like when you get home! Take care, be safe and enjoy the rest of your adventure:-)

Sounds like a diet of alpaca in various guises and a big wad of coca leaves in your cheek agrees with you. Talking to Charlie about where Uncle Dave is at every opportunity, and I reckon he sorta gets it. He'd not been to our place since Christmas, but when I asked him about the coin in the computer room he remembered it, and when I asked him where it came from he quickly said, "Egypt." It appears his brain works. Also playing with Play Doh, I made some food items with the molds, and he put them in a pot with a lid, slid them under the couch in the basement, waited a bit, then went "Beep...beep...beep" in that piping voice. I was so tickled. Even used a flattened sheet of play doh as his hot pad, and was quick to protest when I was ready to make it into other shapes. We are all doing well, but eager to have you back here. Thanks for your updates. We live vicariously through your posts. Have fun and sleep when you get home. Love you a bunch. Your father
