... as they have a lot of questions. Heather prepares a scrumptious meal consisting of roast lamb (the best we have had on this trip), roast potatoes and milk tart for dessert. Unfortunately, our time with them is short, but it is pure quality time. It starts to rain late in the evening for a short while. Yes, we’re here for a good time, not a long time, so have a good time, the sun can’t shine every day.

... trip...you sure learn a lot about people when you take a 6 hour bus ride with them!! The kids were sure troppers even during the most trying times where you find yourself in a bus badly needing to use the wash room and all you can get access to is an outhouse that does not have the most pleasant smell to say the least...we sure have many stories to tell. I have attached a photo of one of the cleanest washrooms we used in Malawi....

... saying but now I don't understand what they mean. Could be a long month. The bad news was that we got a SSSS designation in US Customs which meant a special screening including dusting for drugs or something and shoes off and body pat down etc.... Pretty exciting stuff and all before 6AM. The good news is that our lugguage arrived safe and sound (though mine had ...

... never seen it look so amazing. It was orange. It was red. And it was huge. It was probably the closest I've ever seen the moon.

... paid - who says the age of chivalry is dead ! Had lobster, langoustine, prawns the size of your leg and Calamari. Compared to the stuff i had eaten for the previous three weeks this was nothing short of a revelation. Not learning from my previous diplomatic intervention on the subject of Palestine back in Tofo i once again took her to task for her zealous, near fanatical position on the situation and helpfully pointed out all the ways her argument sucked and how poor she was at ...
