I'm reading "roughing it" by mark twain right now. Its hilarious an reminds me of America and home - it's about traveling too so I can laugh I my mistakes when twain laughs about his. I also finished "black like me". I'd began it years ago but never finished it. It was really poignant too - racism - hatred - tribalism - fear of the other - it's such a scourge upon man kind and could washed away (or at least worked on) with just a bit of love.
Also, I went to 5:30 mass in Stratford upon Avon - it's just like back home but with an accent. The church was ancient too - with the railing and it must have been fairly old. The priest was really funny - he talked really candidly wirlth the parish during the homily - like, talking about how his dog wet in the poundshop (our dollar store). Anyway, it was a beautiful service.
I just trained into France and just came out of the Chunnel - I also has a conversation in French - sort of - I changed seats so some french people could sit together. So excited and hoping not to get lost!
Love, affection, and prayers to you all,
Nick
