"John" is a very beautiful chameleon. Claire, thank you so much for the post card! I got it a few days ago. It was so nice to read about your adventures. We are having a lovely summer waaaaaaay over here in the ol' Pacific Northwest. Back "home", which must seem so very far away to you all right now. You are obviously fully immersed in your experiences. Love you and see you at the end of the month! Hello! “John” is a very beautiful chameleon. Claire, thank you so much for the post card!

First it's news about gnus. Then you send us li-nes about lions. Now it's gooseberries. Don't you know that we have gooseberries right here in the Northwest? You can get gooseflesh, too, just by standing in the breeze after a swim. And we have real live goose mamas and goose papas and goose chillun right here in our creek. And goose poop on the rocks. Of course YOUR gooseberries are hand delivered by the giggling sisters of St. Eugene! Well, if you think about it, similar arrangements could be made on Oak Way. Hope we can prove that soon! Love, OPA Dear Claire,

Between your triad of descriptions and pictures of exotica with your beaming selves (almost inconceivably) among them, this patch of the "dark continent" is being illuminated for me as never before! So now inquiring minds want to know: what do you hear? What are the sounds of village life? What does a forest sound like as compared to a field? How does day sound different from night? Did the lion roar, and if so, what did that do to your insides? And songs! Is there singing? Claire, the next time I see you, maybe you can teach me a song...(hint, hint) with much love, Chris I continue to be stunned and amazed!
