NVA Crocs Defeated Again...

We had high hopes going into our games today- great practices, overall team improvement- only to see our hopes squelched out by heat, hunger and fatigue. U11 boys and girls lost their games against our fearsome competitor, the girls losing 0-4, the boys 1-13. They both played hard and held their own in the first half, but seemed to completely fall apart in the second. The Crocs play again next week- meaning just one practice to figure out what went wrong and make changes... Eddy and I are both devestated at the sad turn of events- we so wanted to see them win!!

Rumors are spreading fast about the political situation here- we're being told to prepare and be wise. Hopefully all will remain as usual, but if not, internet coverage could be sketchy. We'll keep you posted as best we can!

I threw in a picture of our usual evening meal time-- just to give you a picture of a typical dinner at our flat... Tonight was Pizza night; the crust made with my handy bread machine! (Hand carried over from the states-- Yay for cheap technology!) We make an effort every night to sit down to a meal together and try to relax. We brought over a couple pilar candles to add to the mood and help with the smell in the house/area/nation- predominantly dirt and dust.

We leave for Kenya next week.

Photos: This is the car we get to use which we lovingly call "The Ferrari". We routinely carry more passengers then should be allowed as there are really no seat belt laws and people always need a ride somewhere. This is heading out after the games... Some shots at the game- held at our opponents beautiful campus... Night At Jess and Eddy's Flat- once inside, I peal off the typical outerwear expected here and go Hawaiian style; and check out that tasty pizza!!! : )
