Minor issues and our schedule

Minor issues

1.  Marcus is having allergy problems, perhaps from the dust playing soccer with the kids and there simply being more dust and dirt in the air in Antigua in comparison to Atlanta.  He is totally ok and has take Allegra.  He says it's helping.  

2.  The two Amadous ( bah and dem) say they need more meat served in their household.  I talked to the host mom and she will be sure to prepare more chicken.

3. Jahre ripped his shorts while playing soccer, but Brenda has found someone to see them up.

... That's it. all minor problems.
