A few pictures

I thought I would put up some more pictures. I've driven by the ocean almost every day. The Indian ocean is about a 5 minutes walk from the Agee's home.

I went to church today with the Agee's. It was pretty much like an American Baptist church. It was good and the sermon was from Nahum. Afterwards we walked along an area close to the beach where you can get some authentic Africa jewelry or home decor, used books, food, etc. I enjoyed that. Then we went to eat at a restaurant by the beach. It was good. A few things I have learned about eating out are:
-that it always takes much longer to get drinks, menu's, order food, etc. here than we are used to in states.
-you have to ask for the bill otherwise you may never get it as it is considered rude for them to just bring it.

Bathroom stall in the mall I went to the other day. Only major difference is how the T.P. is pulled from the side rather than from top or bottom as we are used to. And then flushing is different also.

I will be leaving in the morning to visit Jehovah Jirah (JJ) Haven (the orphanage I will be at in Alexandria). From there I will go with Jennifer Agee and her daughter, Ali, to Port Elizabeth to visit another orphanage that Oceans of Mercy supports called Door of Hope. Tuesday is a national holiday here so we will go back to visit JJ in the morning and then have a pizza party with the kids at Door of Hope in the afternoon. On Wednesday or Thursday I will stay permanently in Alexandria. I'm not sure what kind of internet access I will have over the next few days and when I get to Alexandria so this will probably be my last post for a little while.
