Back to Isoka?

The Swedish Embassy is being more helpful than the US Embassy... They will confirm that Interpol is working on the case. We managed to send 2 faxes today to Zambia... we've tried all week, but just found out that they country has added 2 digits to the area codes, therefore we weren't getting anyone... go figure! Toyota managed to get us a copy of our vehicle registration... Thanks! David's car is still not really driveable.

Thursday Evening: Hmmm, something is not right here. My Facebook wall won't update... and I can't get tot hat recipe I looked up this morning. Friday Morning: Off to M'Padue school without even a "here I go" message to my friends. Oh well, I don't have time anyway! Friday Afternoon: Mikael, "Seems there is something wrong with the internet. It isn't working at the office either." Me, "I wanted to post a few pictures from this morning, but I can wait." I waited... here they are...
