life goes on

Check out this funny blog post from the Owens family who have recently moved here to en Gedi from Canada here under the post Wednesday, 19th of Jan. The roundabouts here are called keplefti...keep lefti? They also say 'I say' when they are making an exclamation in Swahili, but don't understand they probably got it from the British.

I've been going for runs with some of the guys on the base, and it is really challenging as we are 1000 feet above sea level, and the higher altitude is harder on your lungs. but at last i am getting used to it, and its just great to run through the farms and villages around and greet the people, pumping away on the red dirt and dust and dodging cattle and overloaded trucks on the road.

pity I can't post any photos, but the server won't allow me to :(

(if you leave a comment I will reply, Just check the comments section on the bottom of the post upon which you commented. Confusing?)
