My April trip to see more of Africa was all planned: I was off to Egypt the week after Easter. Then I got wind of a rumor at school: no school the week before Easter. Once confirmed I made plans to spend my extra 10 days visiting the kids and seeing our new grandson born....
I arrived in New York City Monday March 28 to the welcoming arms of Tyler and Rebecca who masterminded the air arrangements on 72 hours notice...3 great days in NYC was a treat once I got my US legs back. With no sign of Baby Morse arriving in San Francisco,I moved on to Dallas to see Andy, Chelsea, and Meghan, a re-invented little girl from January. How much and how quickly a 2 year old changes! We dyed Easter eggs and filled plastic eggs with candy together; Chels provided a fabulous Easter brunch with Dallas pals and lots of Chels' family, too. By Easter night I arrived in nasty rain in the Bay Area where Blaire was still holding her own. The doctor stepped up the inducing so on Tuesday April 6 at 1133am Theodore John was born (7 lbs 13 oz and 21 inches long). What a joy to see Teddy as he arrived-Mikey beamed and Blaire was radiant. There was lots of good time to hold and ogle Teddy before I returned to New York on April 7.
Today April 8 I will jump the non-stop flight to Cairo where Dick will join me to do some Africa exploring. I will be back in Kakamega about the first of May so will update you when I return.

So what did you buy in NYC to take back (lots of books) and share with your students? Please tell us what you saw and found interesting in Egypt. Did you fly back to Nairobi or travel overland? We think about you often and miss you. We do want you to do a travel review upon your return. Keep up the good work and don't let the rain get to you! Jamie
