Today Jayne and I:
- went to the cell phone store to replace my cell which broke yesterday
- went to the pharmacy to find her a food brace
- got a little lost on the way home
- drove 37 kilometers outside of town to see the Odi Weavers and their store - got a little lost on the way there.
- drove 37 miles back into town as quickly as possible to let the guys in the house security gate
- went to lunch at a local chicken place
- picked up Kristin and Lance's maid at her other job (yes, I broke down and got a maid - the threat of visitors will drive a person to do many things. Finding towels that match for example.)
- Dropped her off at the house
- Met a friend of Kristin's at a local small mosque and had a little tour.
- Followed Kristin's friend to the bigger mosque in town where the local imam gave us a bigger tour and we all sat down for a talk.
- Picked up Kristin and Lance's maid at the house and took her home.
- Almost got in a car accident in a traffic circle which would not have been Kristin's fault.
- Rushed through shopping for tonight's dinner under threat of closing grocery stores
- Came somewhat close to a second car accident which would have been Kristin's fault but didn't happen so all is well.
- With Jayne doing much of the heavy lifting while Kristin pulled together the salad n' bread n' table n' stuff, got a nice spaghetti dinner on the table for 6 guests.
- Then it started to rain
- Then it started to storm
- Then the power went out
- Then we all talked for a good 3 hours by candlelight.
- Then everyone went home, Kristin did the dishes, cleaned up the kitchen
- Then the power came back on.
- And now I sit here, falling asleep, misspelling Imam and typing.
It was one heck of a day. I am soooooooo tired.
