New Year's and More!

In need of renewing my visa, I left this land for an adventure in God's country with some old and new friends. On the way there, a couple of us stopped in the Capital for some fun New Year's shopping. We did this instead of bunjy jumping off a ridiculous bridge like a lot of our friends. Mom, if my friends jumped off a bridge, no, I would not also jump!

Before shopping, we decided to stop and get some momo's for brunch :) Yum!

Oh my goodness! Never in my life have I seen so many cooked noodles in one place, and apparently neither had Jul!

Scenes from God's country:

Other highlights of the trip were: spending time with some pretty awesome brothers and sisters, an uneventful jeep safari, an elephant safari (which included rhinoceri, crocodile, and deer sightings!! And, I got to be the driver!), and eating Mexican food (what would the world be like without Mexican food!!!).

Hal, I especially love the expression on your face in this one!

When I grow up, I want to be an elephant driver for a living!

What a picture...lol!


And by the end of the week, I was tired and sick...for the first real time since I came to this far away place. No worries though, I'm getting better and I'm back at home.

Also, as a side note, I take no credit for the photos above. I brought my camera with me, but only took one picture the whole time. So I had to steal some from some friends. Thanks!
