After a long bus ride up to NY, we hopped on our plane to Paris. Somethings we observed:
1. Bill Murray was on our flight, and Joe managed to utter some "profound" words to him.
2. Our flight crew was immaculate, of course they were french.
3. Free red wine and good food- again, only on a french flight.
4. We are jet lagged.
5. We have another 5 ours in the Paris airport and 5 more hours on another airplane to Bamako....stink.
Keepin' it real, or at least trying to,
The Wollersheims
Do you have the written transcript of the conversation between Bill and Joe? Something like, "Hey Bill, 'live the dream' dude."
ReplyDeleteonly Joe Wollersheim would have a disclaimer on his blog....I love you guys and miss you already!
ReplyDeleteThe adventure has only begun!
Ash and Joesphina:
ReplyDeleteHalf way there:
A word of encouragement as you embark on this journey into the continent of Africa and the country of Mali:
1. Communication is key
for example: if you say in french what you thought was " wow what a lovely dress you have on ms." and it comes out "wow you area huge woman" that could be very bad.
2. If at anytime you find yourself in the middle of nowhere... wait skip that one that will be the story of your life for the next 27 months!
3. If at any point people start asking you " do you know of this wise one name Amy Michelle Martin, she is from your homeland"
do not, i repeat do not give them my direct line, just give them my toll free number on business card!
4. Enjoy the journey, live the dream, and miss us ( i mean it!) because we are missin' you guys!
love the one and only:

ReplyDeleteHey guys! I thought you were living with host families for awhile to learn French? If I had only known I could have taught you everything I know in French...Let's see, theres "french fry", "wii wii" (or is that the game?), "french toast", and the ALWAYS usuable, "french kiss"!
ReplyDeleteDid you ask Bill whether or not everything thing his wife said about him in people magazine was true? (she filed for divorce)
Your hut looks better than I was expecting. Can we call it a "Hondo" That's similar to "Harn". (eh, Clint and Aubrey?)
Glad you made it safe and sound. Keep us posted.....
