White Shirt Day...

99% of the time Hugo wears a light blue shirt with dark blue pants to work. But this week he had to wear a white shirt one day. In this country, if you are a manager in aviation, you wear a white shirt. So when government officials from the Indonesian Directorat General of Civil Aviation or DGCA (like Transport Canada or the FAA) come on official business, you dust off your white shirt and wear it to work that day. The officials came to do an airworthiness check on a few of our aircraft; a once a year process done on all Indonesian registered aircraft. This was Hugo's first time doing this process as the manager of maintenance. By all accounts everything went smoothly and with no glitches. Whew!
For the rest things have been humming along. Bread is being baked fairly frequently, bikes are being ridden also fairly frequently and friends are coming over to play also fairly frequently. The kids are going to enjoy their last couple weeks of holidays before school starts again on August 18. This year it looks like I'm going to be teaching grades 1 and 2 PE. Should be a hoot! We're rather short of teachers, hence the recruitment of myself to fill in...
These are a couple pics from last week when Mikah helped at the VBS program for the kids from the Papua Harapan (Hope) school.
