geneve
9:07am and snowing hard
laying low in the geneva safe house and developing new tradecraft protocol for the coming months. the final mission in phnom penh requires clear thought. Pain chocolat and strong espresso are needed immediately as europe stretches out before us. we must fondue and fait du ski in the next few days as munich, berlin and kiev are on the horizon. We look to be on the free lodging trail east and the trans mongolian express and st petersburg are now a long shot.
clare has found a beverly cleary book, ben has fully embraced twitter as his medium of choice, and swiss tv features some english cartoons so the critters are relatively happy. it seems that homeschooling includes a winter break. who would have thought? The artiste claims that she will post some "people pictures" soon.
post script. 2:40 pm.
