It seems to be rarer and rarer the occasions we get out of the gate to go and do anything other than mission business. Today, we had planned to tag along with some friends to a hotel pool and relax in the shade and watch some sporting event or another and just let go for the day. Our original plans got hijacked by some bad roads so we were rescued by Alain (thank you!) and then we paid a small fee for personal tap-tap to get home.
The only caveat is that we had to stay close to home so we went to Visa Lodge pool. Good food, but the poolside accommodations leave something to be desired. The pool was nonetheless exactly what the doctor ordered. We had a little too much sun, but that was a fair price to pay to get some delicious food and some time outside of the gates.
Thank you to Kyle and Josh for some good conversation and good company.
Now I'm just relishing the return of the internet for the few minutes we may have it and thanking God for our new friends. We will be going to the market and to church tomorrow so that will be another opportunity to socialize and mingle with like cultured folks.
For now, I'm going to finish cooking my rice and then curl up in the bed with a good book and get a good nights sleep while I still have electricity!
Praise God for the little things too!
