Text:
   Hi Larry!
       It was nice hearing from you yesterday. You’ve asked about my plans for the future.
Unfortunately I can’t give a definite answer for the moment.
       I am in Algeria now and I might get back to San Diego next week. But I am not sure yet.
I might stay here for another month or more. Kader has invited me to his parent’s home in
Tamenrast, so I might accept the invitation. I’m thinking about making a film in the Hoggar
frescoes. It might interest a Hollywood movie producer. Who knows? I might become rich and
famous. On the other hand, I don’t know if I can stand the hot weather in the Sahara. To tell you
the truth, I can’t decide yet.
                                                                            Love,
                                                                                    Ron
