Whose wedding was it? Kazoo
'twas of the uncle of a classmate. said classmate invited us 8 hours south to her family's home, for the 5-day wedding, at which we were special special guests. america. where is that? haha. not: america- oooo aaaah. they speak only arabic down there in the desert and treated us like more than family. reverently.
I am so excited to read of your life in other world. Keep on writing and I will read until my eyes bleed. Hope that we can spend more than a minute together when you come to the USA. Give me California dates and I'll get time off of work. Big Huge Loves to you and yours. . . K
