Third round of pictures! Yea!





These pictures can only be added 5 at a time, so it is a bit slow, and sometimes I have to do it twice because the internet doesn't download them for some reason.
Anyway, last Sat. evening Cathy and I went for our usual McDonald's parfait, and met a guy from campus. He was with Michael, the fellow in the picture with me and introduced us. Guess where he is from? PNG! Mt. Hagen actually. We never did get there when we visited the Haabs but it is the base for MAF. So it was really fun to talk to him.
The next 3 pics are back at the Kona Coffee tasting festival. Cathy had a great time sampling all the different kinds. It wasn't really my cup of tea, but I actually did try little sips of 2 different kinds, so here I am!
The Kona Inn in this town is bright pink, and the 2 washrooms are located at the end of a very pink and narrow walkway, quite high above the ground. It is the "Loo with a View". Anyway, this group of kids thought it quite amusing. They are also mission builders and students and are from Norway and Sweden, so we had a good time together laughing at this site. One of the kids is Preben again, and I think Kristina, and Albert, and I'm not sure of the other one. Oh, Hannah, I think. She saw me today and recognized me as the one from the village that she took pictures with! Cathy is washing her hands after her visit to the loo! We met quite a few people here and enjoyed the pinkness, and the ocean view, which is quite spectacular from us here. But it was hazy and hard to photograph.
Then there is me painting a desk in our laundry room area. I have also painted a phone booth, but it needs another coat. Today we were too busy cleaning rooms and doing laundry. It reminds me of when I cleaned Scratches Cabins in Banff for a month after Gr. 11! Never thought I'd be doing the same kind of thing again! And with kids the same age again, but me at past 50!!
Cathy and I took a long walk tonight. We were cooked by the time we got back and it was 9:00.

Drinking coffee last year at midnight in Norway and now drinking coffee at an all night Coffee festival. Wow! Should I be buying some Tim Horton's coffee before you get home? Great seeing the pictures!!!
