Dan's observations


I (Dan) will add a few more general observations … wild bougainvilleas and crown of thorns bushes are now in bloom here, we have seen papaya’s and avocado trees loaded with fruit almost ready for harvest, small white cranes are in abundance, we are amazed at the colourful and flowery material that women and men wear and the accompanying head pieces that the women have, we still find it strange that it gets dark at 6:00 pm yet it is so warm and humid at that time when we expect it to get cold as soon as the sun goes down and finally, we are told the rains will be coming soon but so far no rain - just warm mostly overcast days.  
We found out yesterday afternoon that there was a cabin available on the ship for the month of October and that we were welcome to use the room. We thought we’d won the lottery! Needless to say, this is an unexpected gift and is making the work of collaborating on Chris’s project so much easier. We thank God for the many blessings he has already provided and look forward to the days ahead.
