Today arrived word from Jeanine and several pictures including this one taken after a watermelon seed spitting contest. I am left to wonder if this is a routine event at the school or if the idea was imported from Indiana by Jeanine. Both Jeanine and Maya are dealing with sore throats and head colds as are Nicolai and I but they seem to be managing OK. Jeanine reports “I miss bathrooms, cold drinks, wearing shorts and taking showers”.
