Phone Calls Overseas

Janna has a phone that I can use to call her in case of an emergency. She called here to give me the number on our caller id. However when I tried to call her the phone number did not work. It turns out that in order to call Oxford, England from Waco, Texas you have to dial "001" before the number.

Dad had a good point, He wondered if our military are allowed to phone or video chat with family and friends when they are serving overseas. If so, how would the military leaders censor messages that are in real time?

My computer gets overheated when i talk to Janna on video chat and then turns off after a short while. I am able to chat via texting on the computer without any difficulty. But the video talking, while completely mesmerizing, has some technical difficulties for me.

The blog and photos take a lot of time and I am impressed that Janna makes time for them. But they are one of the highlights of the summer. Tim and I talk about what we've read or about some of the pictures that Janna has posted.
