I have been in the city of Monrovia today and it was an exciting busy mass of people. I visited the Ministry of Education and held an interview with the Deputy Minister for Planning in the Education Department. It was good to hear all the plans that they have in Liberia for the improvement of education. Many more children now have the opportunity to go to primary school which they call elementary here but you are very lucky to get a secondary education!

Today I swam in the sea!! After a long ,very hot day it was a brilliant to cool off. The waves were really high and fun to jump around in. the sand was golden and the palm trees around the edge of the beach are really beautiful. I wish you were ALL here!
