We are in a nice neighbourhood called Salt Lake in Calcutta. Heading into the thick of it tomorrow. All is well!
Mom
Stay in touch often...I worry about that country

Happy New Year to you and yours Daryl! Say hello to anyone who looks like me at the old salt mine.

Good to hear from you AML. I just woke up at 3:00 am to watch football in a smoky Saigon Dance Bar (only place playing the game)! Getting strange looks drinking coffee with all the party crowd!

I had fun "binge reading" your blog and getting all caught up with you. Here all is well. Arianne had four wisdom teeth pulled out on the 2nd and is still feeling the pain. School starts tomorrow, so we are hoping for much healing in the next 24 hours.
Looking forward to reading the next chapter of Round the World Mercers!

Merry Christmas to all. It's Christmas morning here and we are enjoying Baileys by the pool. Sure miss all the Christmas rituals from home. Please God we will see you next year!

Merry Christmas you guys! Simon has stomach flu so while he throws up every hour on the hour, i run for fresh towels and sanitize the floor by his bed (or various spots en route to the bathroom). Andrew and Everett thought it most helpful if they did "errands" and go to Johanna's party. Despite all this we will listen to the Shepherd tonight on CBC and drink scotch, and listen to Everett perform a somewhat unpracticed version of Jingle Bells on Piano. So while it seems you are in Tropical Vietnam, my short description of things here today (and yes, it's -30) will leave you no doubt we are in Heaven. Of a sort, really possibly more similar to one of Dante's inner rings than not... Safe travels! And Debbie just mail me the custom made clothes, I will pick them up and hang on to them for you til you get back!

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep.
And miles to go before I sleep.
