Well, we decided if we were going to take vacation it was now or never. October is filled with new M's coming for language training and Ben's birthday and a mission team from Tennessee. Heather is traveling to Egypt for 2 weeks in November to do more language training. It is looking like we will become the Urban training center for those coming to stay in the Western part of Africa. We will be responsible for training them in language and Urban work. December is filled with 2 teams coming from the States. One the first of December and the other during Christmas. We will also have our Christmas party as well. So it was now or never.
These pictures probably make this look a lot better than it is, but this was a nice place to visit and relax some. Sadly we only got the camera out once and Caleb and Karis were not around for the pictures. This is our little hotel room. It was pretty on the outside, but it needed a little help on the inside. Mosquitoes
Yes the pool has a nice green tint to it. We swam in it the first few days, but by Thursday we decided it was just too green for our taste and our health. Next time I will stop by our local store here and take some chlorine drops to slip in the pool when no one is watching!!! ;-)
Ben loved the pool and would have spent his entire time in the pool if we let him. I believe he thinks he is a fish!!!!
Heather looking beautiful as always, sitting just outside of our 2 rooms waiting for her turn to get cleaned up from the morning at the Beach.
This is a pretty flower that was next to one of the rooms. They did a great job on the outside of the hotel.
more outside shots of the hotel.
I know you are saying, so what did the inside look like. Well, the doors didn't close properly and let in any type of bug you can imagine. We sprayed for mosquitoes and such, but it didn't do a lot of good. The bathrooms were missing the seat on the commode, so maybe next time we will take one with us. We also forgot what it was like traveling to hotels. You have to take a lot of personal items that you just wouldn't think to take in the states. We did have fun and we did relax, which was the point. We also met another Missionary family that is independent Baptist, and we ate supper with them a couple of nights. They only have 12 kids, so I don't think they really noticed us too much.

Thanks for the update. Great insights into an "African" vacation :-). Cindy had commented, "I think they must be on vacation!" Can't wait to hear about the Urban Training Center assignment. We will update you on our decisions as well (staying put) ... continuing with EPIC. Be blessed.
