Dear Jake & Gwen
 
We had a wonderful time - we were treated to the red carpet experience.

The exhibition went very well - about a third of the show sold before we left.

The exhibition was opened up by the (T.V. Radio-Etc)
Minister of Culture - we had (5 artist went over.)
dinner at the President's son's house afterward We went boating - island hopping - dinners -
evening & afternoons - we held a seminar at the National Institute of Arts - there are about 50 art students - we stayed a the largest hotel in Abidjan - it was beyond our dreams-

After a week the other artist went home and
Cynthia & I took a train (20 hours) to the Upper Volta 700 miles through the bush - very interesting
to the capital "OWARDADOUGOU". It was more
African - with Muslim influence in the architecture we spent 3 days there exploring and then took the train back. It was unexpected so thats what made it extra nice. I see when you are going to be at the Nardin Gallery (APOKALYPSIS) Let me know what date - I miss the opening as we were away-                   over
