Sounds like you all could use a down day? I hope there are 1 or 2 of those scheduled. It doesn't sound reasonable to keep up that pace for a month. I hope you all have found little ways of stealing a moment of serenity every now and then.
My mind is bursting just with the reading of all that your team has been doing. It all sounds so fantastic.
We miss you Nola! but reading the blog makes us so very happy that you had the opportunity to do this trip. And with such a great group of women! Wishing the team all the best. We look forward to seeing more pictures.
Much love from
Val & Howard
Where are you guys?
