This story really began yesterday with the thoroughly frustrating pick up of our U-Haul truck three and a half hours late. After confirming that we would pick up the 10 foot van at Applewood Village at 9 am the office there didn't open until 9:40 in spite of a sign saying 9 am opening. At that time the fellow had the audacity to say we were early, after we'd confirmed the 9am time with him by phone the day before.

... using only our own money and no loans, so we've been living frugally. This trip is no exception. We even considered not taking a trip this year, but there's too much tradition at stake to do that. Our goal on this trip is to have as much fun as humanly possibe for as little cost as possible. Kind of like back ...

... arrived early into Cincy. I was lucky enough to have one of the only seats on the bus to myself, and it was nice and cool. The bus drops off at 4th and Race in Cincy, and I have to walk about 4 blocks to the city bus stop to take the bus that drops me right off by my parent's house in Silverton. Getting picked up can be such an ordeal, that I have opted ...

It is official. I am going to Mamelodi. I recieved my first donation today. THANK GOD FOR C.E. I officially have enough money to pay my depost for the mission trip. Now I just need to figure out where the next $3000 is coming from. I'm slightly stressed about it.

... a bit of time while living in France. She married a "Kiwi" and they have been living in her husband's native country for the last five years, after their first 15 or so years of married life spent in France. Her experience as a woman working there has been a positive one but she did explain her challenges in trying to make friends with people that are, in her opinion, more private. However private they may be, the difference becomes insignificant in my opinion when ...
