that pink was making me nauseus (sp?) ... so back to green :)
How was today? I think I need to defrag before telling www. So, back to the weekend...did I mention how lovely the resort was?! I swam- in a swimming pool (no bilhazia) there were deck chairs... there was a resteraunt, palm trees, stunning lake views and those cute little love seats all along the lake shore. The first night a huge thunderstorm hit about 1.30 am and finally moved out of 'keeping me awake' range at about 3.30 am...so not much sleep, but amazing to see the lake in storm.
Saturday night we played a few games of pool. It was so lovely to feel 'normal' for an hour- even if there were cinyago (freaky masked dancers) providing the evenings entertainment 20 m away. I think I just have to accept that there are some things about this country/culture that I will never understand or appreciate...ie cinyago. Not the best pics I know, but it was night- and you get the idea :)

Hi Rina,
It's Sharon J here, Jeff's wife from TTC. I just found your blog today after Liz passed on your prayer letter. I am glad to hear your language skills are - well, let's just say, getting there!
We'll be praying for you. Would you mind if I added this blog to my blogroll at equipacademy.blogspot.com?

Cinyago(?) looks freaky and nightmare making... similar to clowns. xx
yeah- they were truly horrible- about 10 of them came out over about an hour- small child ones, huge ones on stilts, some with dog heads and ..of course - the pirate one (pictured) they gave me the creeps- especially knowing that they represent different spriits etc. I'll take a game of pool ...or a clown any day!
What a beautiful lake! Can you swim there or would you be eaten by hippo's?
That dancing costume couldn't be comfortable.
Hiya cuz- it is beautiful isnt it?!..but I havent swum in it yet- partly because of the hippos and crocs (although i think they're more around the river and swampy bits- and I think you have to really piss a hippo off- or get in their way to get eaten by one) but mainly because of the bilharzia. I might do another 'tropical nasties' post on bilharzia some time, but the short version is that the water snails in the reeds carry or lay? little worm like things that get itno your body through your skin while you're swimming and take up residence in your vital organs and track backwards and forwards leaving a mess of scar tissue behind...I think 'I want to swim" then I think 'Im young- i want to look after my organs cos I might need them later' so then i head to the pool, trusting that nothing could live with that level of chlorination!
