Happy Father's Day to Tad!

This is the first father's day since Tad and I've been married that we've not been together. Hopefully Joe Henry remembers where I put the gifts and he has already given them to his dad. I wanted to post a picture of Tad and the kids. The only pic I could find on this laptop is really old but I'm posting it anyway. It was taken in San Antonio after KU won the NCAA basketball championship in 2008.

Sandrine is back! She said her trip to the desert was amazing and her camel was really nice too. I snapped this picture of her sitting on her bunk when she returned. She warned me not to ever show it to anyone but I think it's a good picture considering she had spent 22 of the last 48 hours in a bus and three hours on a camel.

There are some really skinny cats hanging around the main road and Sandrine has been worrying about them. When she was traveling to the desert they stopped for supplies and she bought some sardines and tuna. Anyway, I went with her this evening to feed the cats a feast. As we were feeding them a man came along and was digging in the trash looking for food. We ended up giving him a container of tuna.

There are so many beggers in the streets. The average monthly income for people in Morocco is $80 a month. There are some really rich people here so you can imagine there are many, many more poor people. At orientation they were saying that there is no middle class in Morocco, you either have a lot or you have nothing and the vast majority of Moroccans fall in the latter category.

I wanted to get this posted earlier in the day so Tad would know I was thinking about him but the internet did not start working until just a short time ago. They said, traditionally, you don't get good internet service on Sunday, crazy!

More tomorrow.
