Passports Applied for

Today we went to the post office to apply for passports for the children.  Skylar spent the time fishing paper out of the garbage can and making his own passport on the back of the scrap he found.  "How did you learn to spell our last name?" Julienne asked.  "I listened to Dad say it on the phone," was his nonchalant answer.

The post officer noticed that both of our drivers licenses expire at the end of the year - add another thing to the list!

In our long preparation for Dakar, Senegal, I searched Netflix movies for Senegal and Dakar and came up with a documentary about a team taking part in the Paris to Dakar motor-bike race.  6000 miles on a motor cycle on mostly unpaved roads and unpaved sand dunes - no fun!  Anyhow, they showed shots of villages in the eastern part of Senegal and I couldn't believe it.  They look just like the National Geographic photos!

      Hi Anita! Thanks for writing. I miss you too! We are flying from the airport in Boston on July 30th. We're stopping in Paris for four days, then will continue on to Senegal. We will make sure to post some pictures from Paris! I hope you have a great time in Florida and I'd love to hear some stories from your trip! I'm also sad that I won't get to be Mariah's teacher- Kristyn is so lucky. Love, Julienne

    Good catch at the post office. My license expired while I wasn't paying attention and on the one trip we rented a car, I couldn't legally drive - bummer for Sue, she drove a camper van all around New Zealand.
