The boarders. . .

have almost all left. We had ten kids boarding at the school for a 5-week summer camp, from Egypt, the Emirates, Saudi, etc.

Only the Korean kid who now lives in Cairo is staying.

A private car from the Omani embassy got Sara a couple hours ago.

Three kids are waiting for one of their dads to fly into Damascus from Cairo, and then take a car into Aley to physically pick up his child and the friends.

The others left these past couple days in private cars through Syria, with the rest of the tourists from the Gulf.

And some of my American friends left this morning for Syria. I think it's a bad idea for Americans to go through Syria. Someone said they heard they're giving them problems. Rania is going to Syria tomorrow, too.

I haven't heard about any of them.

I'll just wait for that boat. Monday morning, they're saying.

Jane:
Aunt Diana and I and everyone else send you our prayers and love. Please use your judgement and make wise decisions. Our family loves, misses and needs you here. We are in tears as I write this email and can't wait to see you in Austin.

Waiting for you is my special Lasagna dinner when you arrive.

Added info from the CNN - It is being said that Isreal is developing a division to enter Lebanon. Make every effort to get to the US Embassy and/or let them know where you're at. You mother is doing a great job in getting you connected with the State department, so keep up your spirits and know that God loves you and will be your protector and guidance all the way.

Love you and miss you
Aunt Diana & Uncle Charlie
