Ant Hill Northern Nigeria
Dear Tunde,
Little ants no bigger than this xxx make these big heaps of earth. They mix their earth with their spit & build these houses. Paul will tell you about the "queen" who lives underground.

Dear Tunde,
Guess what that hill is made of? Bags - yes but what is inside them? Peanuts! Enough to keep you eating for all your life.
Thanks for the card of the camel.

Riverside dwellings west Africa
Dear Tunde,
Can you see the ducks in this picture? Count them how many are there? I can see six. These houses are built on stilts so that the floor is out of the water. Babies must be careful not to fall into the water.

Dear Tunde,
This type of tropical beach islands would suit you as they are close to the equator. = 15 miles from Vanezuela. There is a strong prevailing wind which keeps place cool & the trees adopt the form that you se ehere. Hope all goes well at Art College. Hope to hav enews from you.

Plaza and Pyramid of the moon, Teotihuacan, Mexico
Dear Tunde,
I have never been so impressed by anciant monuments as here. The scale and conception is far beyond my expectations. I am having each night to read up on the history to get the meanings and sequence of developments. the pity is that out of the week I have only two days to sightsee - The rest being conference.
Love Peter
