I am finding it challenging to sleep at night. Up mostly from 2AM-5:30AM and finally go to sleep. Last night there was a huge electrical storm and I think the lightening and thunder was what awakened me....it went on for hours.....Anyway, I hope this insomnia changes soon.
One of the nicest things about being here is Bryan can come home for lunch most days. It is great, after all the time we have been apart to have all this time together. The challenge? What to have for lunch that isn't tuna every day. I'm not complaining but want to have variety in the diet.....
Went to the store to see what is there.....found canned green beans ($4 50/can) and bought 4....wanted to buy them all but that isn't kind....we are going to try a canned local vegetarian hot curry for dinner.....also bought baby corn in the can for when we can make Thai curry.....all together with a few other items, $64. Crazy but at least we will have variety.....
As we were on the road I remembered that I need to keep my camera with me at all times. Soyo is simple but lovely in many ways. We are on the Congo River and see this as we drive along. The women dress colorfully and carry their babies tied to their backs....very picturesque....I'm going to get pictures onto this blog soon.......
As we were coming back home we got a call that 2 of our bags that were left in the capital are here. This is so exciting!! I'm writing this before I open the crates and put things away. Only 13 more to go....
I would imagine that this all sounds tedious and not exciting at all but this is also part of moving to a new place. I wait daily and pray throughout the day that soon I will be able to meet with the woman that manages the community outreach and find out where I can work. While I'm waiting I'm beginning to get serious about learning Portuguese.....You know how I love to talk.....and to struggle through the language is not fun....I find so much amusing and want to share it and make people smile.
