Glad to hear you are having a great time. Beautifu Country. Football is the big topic here. Madison Central will play for the North Championship against South Panola. Ole Miss beat TN and LSU. The Eggbowl is this Sat. Pradip Bhowal was held up. He fought him off and was grazed in the head by a bullet. He was treated and released. It happened at an Indian restaurant off I-55. Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks for sharing your travels with me
Hey Larry and Rhea, I'm enjoying all your wonderful pictures. I'm glad you are both safe. It sounds so much like the States on one hand, but then completely different in other aspects. What a journey. YOu'll be telling stories for years to come. Have a great Thanksgiving. What are your plans for Thanksgiving? What's on the menu? Love Liz

Hey Curtis - GPS is working well when we need it. Actually getting around here has been very easy and every town has an information center that answers questions on area sites and directions.
