Date Night!

Wow! Tonight Hugo and I actually went on a date. Pretty exciting really. We took the bus to Enschede. I have to say that the bus system here is really efficient. The bus often has its own lane in the middle of the road, up higher than the car lane, and the driver can change the traffic lights so that the bus never has to wait for traffic! We had a nice dinner up high overlooking the main city centre area and then walked around and shopped a little bit (not much room for more stuff in our luggage....). I have to say that the weather here has taken a turn southward on the thermometer. Today, after dusting them off vigorously, I donned long pants and socks. And when we went out I wore my, gasp, fall jacket! (It's August!!) It was quite crisp outside this evening. Anyways, after shopping we sat out on a terrace and "listened"(felt) a couple local bands play. Couldn't do a whole lot of talking so we people watched... Very relaxing stuff indeed. Only 4 more sleeps to go! Can't quite believe it....

A DATE WOW !!! that is special and probably great to have a bit of quiet time with just the two of you. Things seem to be moving right along for you all and before you know there you'll be heavy into learning and a busy life in Indonesia. Are the kids ready to be moving on as well...it seems like they are having a great time. It is special to be able to spend this time with the family and that the kids get to know them as well.
We pray that you have a save journey. Enjoy your time yet and GOd Bless
