Visitors (by Thom)

As I write this there are only 2 hours and 7 minutes until we have visitors! My mom and my cousin are coming for a two week trip to Mali, arriving tonight. It's hard to express how fun this is but suffice to say, there's nothing quite as special when you're living overseas as having family visit. We have plans to travel to Koutiala and Djenne next week and we'll also see some of the sights near Bamako and introduce them to all our friends here in Mali but mostly this will be a time of catching up and Grandma getting to see the grandkids.
