Adventure: Jan 27, 2014

Monday, January 27, 2014. Ah culture differences. Gotta love them:-)! I wrote most of this post the week we arrived in Botswana but never finished it. I finally decided to finish and post it now. Note: this was before I was showing my pregnancy at all. Arriving at the car, Auntie grabbed my hand and said with enthusiasm, "You're too fat! Not knowing what she meant, I smiled - it must be an English mis-speak. I don't think I'm too. Kagi saw the exchange and laughed. "She's complimenting you, Laura! I love...

Adventure: Adventure in the Dales
http://lauratraveladventure.blogspot.com/2013/04/adventure-in-dales.html
Friday, April 5, 2013. Adventure in the Dales. Kagi and I had a really exciting week last week. There are lots of stories to be told, and although it is no longer lent so I probably won't be blogging daily, I'll try to tell them. First, I'll tell about the climax of our week. In the autumn, Kara. We rode our bikes down to the train station about a mile from home and took the train to Ilkley, a beautiful town on the edge of the Dales. From there, we rode our bikes to Bolton Abby. After our lunch, Kagi and...

Adventure: Settling in Botswana
http://lauratraveladventure.blogspot.com/2013/11/settling-in-botswana.html
Monday, November 11, 2013. There are many stories to tell from our first month and a half in Botswana. An overall brief update follows:. We arrived in Gaborone at the end of September hoping to ease our way into the hot summer, but had no such luck. The first few days were 35 degrees C (95 degrees F), which was a pretty rough shock to our systems (especially without AC). Nearer to Gaborone and received our shipment. Today, KG started work. November 15, 2013 at 11:07 PM. It is a good way to stay on touch.

Friday, January 24, 2014. I just read the 2014 Gates Annual Letter. Which is Bill and Melinda Gates' update on the state of international development. It reminded me of what an incredible country I live in, in spite of these frustrations. 50 years ago, Botswana was one of the poorest countries in the world. Now, things have changed dramatically. Here are quotes from the annual letter which directly address Botswana:. And so on.". Of course, these regional averages obscure big differences among countries&...

Thursday, January 2, 2014. My Grammy requested that I blog about life in Botswana. That question is a difficult one to answer by itself so it was helpful that more questions followed. I figured it was a good opportunity to answer her questions and see if anyone has more questions. So, post in the comments or shoot me an email if you have any other questions or suggestions for blog topics. When are you going to do a blog about what your life is like there? We are all so curious. Do you have a church?

Tuesday, March 26, 2013. Today, Kagi and I had the privilege of dog-sitting Harry, a very cute jackadoodle who belongs to one of our friends. We have both enjoyed having him around.

Thursday, March 28, 2013. I am excited for the coming weekend. I love having the opportunity to think about what He did, imagining I was there, grieving and rejoicing in the weighty but triumphant meaning of it all. I look forward to the dramatic conclusion to the story, when Jesus physically and spiritually conqueres death on Sunday morning. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). There was an error in this gadget.

Monday, March 25, 2013. I'm not sure if the Starbucks Tax Scandal. What my siblings and I call the "Green Circle of Pleasure," just the sight of which gets the serotonin flowing! My immediate question the first time I heard this was, "So wait, did they do something illegal? To which the answer was, "No.". Americans think very differently about taxes than Brits do. We (typically) feel so differently about this in the States. I realize that I come from a conservative background in America, and I also r...
