Was Over Cappuccino and Cola: Whitey on the moon
http://swellandsheepie.blogspot.com/2009/05/whitey-on-moon.html
Was Over Cappuccino and Cola. Saturday, May 16, 2009. Whitey on the moon. Although there are a number of whities here, for the most part we're few and far between. Most of the whities here are wealthy. We are treated differently than the locals. We are treated much, much better in shops and restaurants than others. Often we are taken to the front of the line. We always have help if we need it in a shop. There was a point to this but I can't recall it now. So I'll have to come back to it. Love Letter to M...

Was Over Cappuccino and Cola: January 2009
http://swellandsheepie.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Was Over Cappuccino and Cola. Saturday, January 24, 2009. How to call us. If you're desperate to talk to us this is how you can contact us from the US/Canada. 011 679 9 860 3850. It is interesting to note that our country here just recently instituted 7. Digit dialing. You read that right. SEVEN. Everywhere else is moving to 10 digit dialing and we've just changed to 7. I hope the above number works. We struggled with getting you the right number when we were in Palestine. Still alive. Still here. It is ...

Was Over Cappuccino and Cola: An Update for the Sake of Updates
http://swellandsheepie.blogspot.com/2009/05/update-for-sake-of-updates.html
Was Over Cappuccino and Cola. Thursday, May 14, 2009. An Update for the Sake of Updates. So, where to begin? I guess the best place to begin would be the beginning. Where it all began. The problem with this beginning is that this beginning is the same as the present and will most likely be the same as the end. This story has no beginning. It has no middle. It has no end in sight. We are. We breathe. We eat. We sleep. We "work". That is what we do. That is who we are. No more. No less. We have yet to repl...

Was Over Cappuccino and Cola: March 2009
http://swellandsheepie.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Was Over Cappuccino and Cola. Friday, March 27, 2009. So as most of you know last weekend was a long weekend here. Something to do with "National Youth Day". We were excited for the long weekend and decided to get away from the hustle and bustle of the capital here. We went for a really cheap 45 minute bus ride (on which they were showing the movie Predator! To the nearest beach town. Not much of a town. A few shops but we weren't there for the shops we were there for the resort - The Pearl. December 22-...

Was Over Cappuccino and Cola: May 2009

Was Over Cappuccino and Cola. Monday, May 25, 2009. We’ve lived in 7 houses in 5 cites in 3 countries. We’ve been around the world visiting at least 11 different countries. We’ve had scary train rides in Egypt and scary windstorms in Palestine. We’ve had to duck in our dilapidated van as we heard gunshots in Palestine. We’ve enjoyed sunsets in Maui and no sunsets in Nome. We’ve had to listen to a woman have a very difficult miscarriage while we were trying to sleep in the clinic in Alaska. It is basicall...

Was Over Cappuccino and Cola: April 2009
http://swellandsheepie.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Was Over Cappuccino and Cola. Saturday, April 25, 2009. Our hearts and thoughts go out to the Lauer family as they mourn the loss of their father and husband. Last Easter we were lucky enough to share a meal with the Lauer family at their home in Maui. Unfortunately the day after our meal together Kit was diagnosed with leukemia. Story here. He remained a man of great faith throughout his fight but was called home earlier today. The following picture was taken at the train station. Sunday, April 19, 2009.

Was Over Cappuccino and Cola: February 2009
http://swellandsheepie.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Was Over Cappuccino and Cola. Monday, February 23, 2009. I like how no matter where you go in the world the taxi drivers are all the same (outside of the "developed" world that is). I also like how I know I would be exactly the same as they are. They drive around in barely held together cars that some how keep moving forward. No shocks. Ratty seats. Dents and dings. Black exhaust billowing out of the exhaust system. The cars are all pretty beat up. But inside the car! I don't like how my "boss" told my p...

Was Over Cappuccino and Cola: June 2009
http://swellandsheepie.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Was Over Cappuccino and Cola. Saturday, June 20, 2009. We interrupt this hiatus with an important announcement. As of today, 20th June 2009, Nicole and Matthew are no longer married. Because Matthew lost his wedding ring somewhere in the South Pacific. Sunday, June 07, 2009. With those 600 odd posts (and most were quite odd) I'm done. I'll probably be back with more and better posts in the future. Minimum absence - one month. Nicole may or may not continue to post here. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Was Over Cappuccino and Cola: November 2008
http://swellandsheepie.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Was Over Cappuccino and Cola. Friday, November 14, 2008. Since the second semester of my second year in optometry school I've been hoping for a "real job". It has taken 8 years to obtain said "real job". The jobs Swell and I are moving around the world to take will pay well less than half of what we could make being optometrists here in North America but to be honest we haven't really been making a whole tonne of money the last two years. Working very part-time will do that to you. Swell reports to me.
