International Calls

Today I received a phone call from the Bahamas. I've never had a real phone call from there before! My friend's mom called to thank me for helping her daughter yesterday. I thought that was very special. While returning my neighbour's son today, I was invited to "meet" her mother via skype. J's parents live in Israel. Perhaps this seems insignificant, but I found joy in speaking to people in two far-away countries today. I also got to practice my fledging Russian. Thankfully my neighbours are patient people. :)
