Later in May 2003. - Jonathan came to visit and help. It was great. Later Polly joined us. Kyra immediately became friends with her - and we approved. |

May 2003 Christian visited us. We had a nice day - flying Kyra's kite in the natural preserve area just down the hill (5 minutes walking). |

April 13, 2003 - Since our budget for professional wood and clay work was getting low, we had to finish the most uncomfortable tasks by ourselves. Mikel was our only hope and help. - In April 2003 we reached the top. The walls were filled! |
