Why has it been two months since the last post?

August and early September have not been what we had planned.  Gail had a second surgery on her wrist due to a bad job the first time and while she was recovering, I had some unexpected health issues.  But I am fine and Gail's wrist, based on a recent visit with the surgeon, is healing very well.  So it's time to starting posting!  We have a number of items to share.  Its hard to beleive, but we are down to our last three months--we leave for home Janurary 7th 2013!

 Waiting for surgery number two!

 Leaving the hospital  after surgery number two!

Another view--this a mosque across the street from the hospital.  As a general rule there is a mosque every 3-4 blocks.
