I am 66, still feeling lucky

Back from Niger 5 days ago after spending 7 weeks in Niamey and Dosso... Limoges, Bordeaux, Genève, Paris in January-early February; Bangkok end February; Jakarta, Bandung, Lombok and Bali in March. Niger is tough with the heat, up to 45 Celsius degrees...
Obviously I continue travelling for work or fun and I love it!

I feel particularly happy because I am surrounded by people I cherish: Lalasoa, Mama, Tojo, Safa'a & Tantely, and Andry who has just left for a 2 week training in Toronto.

I am excited because within the next weeks I will have an opportunity to meet people in Tana with a private Art exhibition of Safa'a here in Imerinafovoany on Thursday 31 May, a 67th birthday and Mother day lunch on Sunday and the big gathering of Sunday 10 June.

For the last couple of years we have dreamt of this family event: getting all 9 of us together for a few days, having met for a couple of days end of 2009 in Dakar when we were only 6. Life as a citizen of the world is not easy even if it is a very enjoyable one too.

At least 5-6 weeks at home, an opportunity to enjoy the garden and It is now the right time to have lunch on the terrace.

I will also practise my golf... so poor teeing and putting these days!
