Happy Birthday Rich!

This is the hotel in Limbe

Here in Cameroon it is a national holiday on March 8th, which happens to be my brother, Rich's birthday. All the women get outfits made with the material my skirt is made out of. It is International Women's Day. The three colors of the same pattern are pink, yellow, or green. On my skirt (I will get a close up sometime) are different phrases and pictures in English and French, about how women should be celebrated and for what. We got to see all kinds of celebrating on the way back from Limbe. We even got in a traffic jam as they close the roads to have parades. It is all they talk about on the radio and in the newspaper. The compound next to us had singing and dancing. It is very neat to see.
Happy Birthday Rich! You are in our thoughts daily! Love, Theresa and Peter
