CHACALA 21 FEBRUARY 2007




We are still not managing to “manage” our time. Up at four, doing bible study and waiting for the sun to come up! The day is spent on the beach, with Luc’s new friend Beckett. Luc takes to the sea and we struggle to get him out. Beckett is a “Cars” fan and the two of them end up watching the Cars dvd. Food is interesting and surprising. Not at all what I perceived Mexican food would be like – unfortunately for my diet (as I had these visions of loosing lots of weight because I don’t like spicy food and melted cheese – guess what we know as Mexican in SA is not real Mexican). Also love the array of fresh salads – and don’t forget the beans! (Luc maak so ewe omverskoning vir al die “poepe” wat heeltyd uitglip!). We are exhausted by seven and nearly fall asleep at the dinner table. We miss the impromto concert by one of the guests (who is a professional singer). But we hear the stunning voice and applaud as we are drifting in and out of our sleep.

MESSAGE FOR KARIN HOUGAARD
Happy birthday amiga! Hope that you will become even more famous and popular – and that West End is getting closer!

REFLECTIONS
Overcoming fear. There must be a reason why I chose to do my sabbatical in a little beach village where the environment, the language, even the people remind me of Jolo Island. Finally I have to learn that not all people are evil and that you can still trust a lot of people in this world!
