Rounding the Turn

Quiet day...I continue to enjoy the comments made to my blog as I get closer to going across the big pond. I went out to breakfast this AM, walking all the way. By the time I got there I was drenched, more as a result of the humidity that the 85temp. But the exercise was needed and a good way of getting it.

Tonight I am going out with the Betz and several other NGO's to the best Chinese restaurant in the city, The Dynasty. This couple has been a nice oasis for me and others and they will be missed by many, myself included. I hope to get a pic tonight at the restaurant to share with all of you.

I have something I need to say about the U.S. Embassy. It has been very helpful in getting our witnesses in the impunity cases into the U.S. by visa so that they and their families can escape a terrible fate here and look forward to a new start in the U.S. Now my hope is that we can get our Iraqi interpreters and those helping our journalists over there to be given entry to the U.S. without real further delay. Anyway, over here I appreciate what our embassy is doing for our witnesses.

Dan,
That is good news about
our Embassy and the help they
have been to getting people to
safety. You are having a wonderful
experience and you are opening
our eyes to a world that we knew
very little about.
Thanks. Thanks for all you are doing
to help others.
God bless you. Love, Kathleen & Bill
