I See The Horizon

-

We have been here 3 months and yesterday was the first day we could see the horizon!  We thought it was completely flat around us but if you look closely, you can see a little hill in the distance!

 Thursday, January 30, Morne had me work from home. He didn't want us leaving the compound. I spent the morning doing my normal work and then at 2:45 in the afternoon, Sisca came knocking on my door telling me there was an emergency meeting called at 3:00 and Morne wanted all of us on the phone for it.  We met in Leonie's house and called in.  Morne started out by telling us that the M23 Rwandan rebels, who had already taken over Goma in the North, had started moving south and were planning on taking over Bukavu.  They announced their intentions to continue moving south taking over Mbuji-Mayi, Kananga, Lubumbashi, and then make their was to Kinshasa. The US Embassy had already been attacked and set fire to.  There was discussion about what we should do and the home office was involved too.  It was decided that all the women and children should leave. We didn't know for how long, but because the airport is also the military base, they wanted us to leave whil...

 We had a long, holiday weekend so we went to Mikembo with Moren & Sisca, Darius & Leonie, Leslie, Trent, Scotty & Kayla and kids! It was my first time being there and I loved it!  I was a little nervous when I heard we would be camping in tents, but it wasn't that bad. The tents were "nice" and we just sprayed for insects 2-3 times a day. There was a pavilion where we cooked, visited, and ate. There was a pavilion closer to the river that had couches and a table. People napped there, we played games there and just relaxed!  It was very green, because of the rainy season. It was a very beautiful place!  Simi playing around in the eating pavilion.  Caught Cory taking a nap! You can see the tents in the background. Scotty and Trent went and found some wild mushrooms and cooked them up! I was excited to taste them, I love mushrooms!  These particular ones were not my favorite...they had a flavor I didn't like.    It was very hot and humid...

  Sunday, December 22 We got up and went to Bear Paw Cafe for breakfast. Cory and I shared a meal of eggs, bacon, toast, and their breakfast home fries.  Then we took of to Cathedral Gorge State Park in Nevada. This place was awesome.  It's an hour and a half drive from St. George, north then east.  The puppies had fun running around and there were plenty of trails to explore.       We stopped to eat lunch and while I was making the sandwiches, Cory got called over to take a picture of an older man.  He started talking to Cory and didn't stop for 30 minutes.  He was telling him all kinds of story's like how he won Publisher Clearing House and Sandra Bullock, Mel Gibson and Kid Rock rode up to his house on a fire truck and delivered the money to him in boxes. Another one was he was college room mates with Elon Musk and Elon implanted a device in his back that can administer his medication via Star link.  He also campaigned for Donald Trum...
