I am CLEARLY a pilgrim in that picture. Us Puritan woman wear the white bonnet as a sign of our virtue and Godliness. I know the ship says Nina, but Mayflower was much too long to put on such a small, humble ship. I didn't think the Mahoney brothers would even notice the ship. They do have a history of not seeing vehicles on the side of the road, especially in foreign countries.
About the only wildlife I have seen in Syria involves stray cats, but this week alone, I've encountered two rare, virtually unseen animals. I think they both say a lot about the effects of growth hormones on animals.
Hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving. Christmas is right around the corner! I'd love to get a few Christmas cards (big hint). Remember my address here is Damascus Community School, Channin Becker 428 Thunderbird Rd Box 149, Phoenix, AZ 85022. I can get photos as long as the envelope has enough postage!
