Lauren just called, she seemed very excited, and most importantly the food is holding out well. Laura has a slightly bum knee, but with time hopefully it will recover on it's own. They got showers and will sleep at Walasi-Yi Center in Neels Gap. For any of you keeping track at home that's about 4 miles ahead of schedule. A lot of people were on the trail yesterday and today and there was an ROTC group practicing. Sounds thrilling. They made a new friend "Gregg from New York" and gave him the name Pinkie due to his Pink Floyd shirt he had on when they met. Unfortunately this name didn't go over well so he is now Pink Flame (named after a really neato flower) He's hiking back up to his homeland of New York with a little more time alloted, so if they don't hike with him they'll at least be close. That's all for now, pictures should be coming in the not-too-distant future.

I'm glad you called, and that things are going well. Hopefully your mail drop will make it in time. Mom
