It is Friday and I am now finally able to make another post. It has been busy, yes, but the internet has been terribly ponderous so I am just now able to post again. I strongly dislike it when Facebook doesn't load right.... grrrr....

Right away on Wednesday my father-n-law was able to go along on a couple flights for the morning. He got to see first-hand the kind of work MAF does here. He even saw a medevac. His pilot nearly had to take the patient but another plane from a different base came in and took her.

Now we are busily planning our trip to the interior next week. We plan to stay in a dormitory at the village of Bokindini. So we will be up in the mountains over Christmas, hopefully sipping hot chocolate by the fire... :-) It is a lot of work to prepare as there aren't really any stores there. And as it is Christmas, there may not be much of a market either as people will be preparing for pig feasts. We're hoping to get to see a pig feast up close.

But first, tomorrow we plan to go to the beach!!! Always a fun time!!
