Thank you Dick and Carla. Without your generous help and hospitality to me, my trips could never happen. You have helped me at the airport by picking Silver and I up in your vehicle and you have provided a nice attic bedroom in your home as well as meals and friendship at the beginning and at the end of my journeys.
Their home and garden are like a little private paradise.

The castle, "Prijtenstein" , built by Dick's father, and known to us as our Ome Cor
Dick carved this dagger out of this downed tree.
Carla is a very happy , fun person to be with.
Dick and I have really good talks with one another.
We had a meal out together. I wanted to thank them for their kindness to me.
It was in a Chinese restaurant.
Egg roll for me which I split with Dick because it was so big. I also had vegetable soup and Dick had tomato soup.
The bicycle and suitcase are packed and after 84 days it is time to say goodbye. I will miss the company of Carla in the house and helping with the grandchildren, Riley and Fayen.
Thank you so much for all you have done for me, Carla! Cooking, laundry, visiting your mother and babysitting--you are a busy lady! May God bless you!
Thank you for your generosity towards me, Dick. You are a very caring, kind and intelligent man. Your knowledge of history and languages amazes me.
May God bless you and how you are personally bettering the lives of some people in Senegal and Gambia.
With Sepp
