No School Today









Today is a Muslim holiday so Sarah, Gus and Sami were off school.
SOOOO.... we spent the day shopping and working around the house installing a ceiling fan in the living room, a smoke/CO dectector, washing dishes, playing with the Wii and just plain relaxing. Gus is helping dad John. Sami & Gus are washing dishes. Corrie is slicing the largest pineabble I have ever seen. It was really sweet too.

More Photos


Shopping for Gifts






Right now we're about ready to sit down for lunch. It's 12:51pm here and 5:51a.m. in Texas. Today we went shopping for stuff to bring home. There are photos of the shops and their shop keepers and the lovely artistic crafts they sell. Really made here in Nigerian by artists who live here and make their living making these things.

Two other photos show "critters" for Reggie. One is a lizard on the back wall of the compound where we are staying with John and Corrie. The other is a spider waiting to take a shower with Sami Jane!

The man in the photo is Matthew who creates beautiful and unique table cloths with names on them and monogrammed napkins.

Another photo is of the many paintings available by local artists. I bought two.

Still another photo is of the roadside view as we traveled from shopping to home.
