WestKal part 1

During the last few weeks we have been traveling a lot, so much that we have found an answer to that very difficult question which tortures so many people in our profession. 

Where is home?

Well, for us, home seems to be where our suitcases are!

Since this latest trip was a long one, I will make this into at least 2 posts, so stay tuned for part two - coming to a computer or cellphone or ipad near you soon! :-)

The first week we spent in a bigger city at a conference with the whole team that works for our organization on this island. It was a really good time to get more information about this possible future place of ministry for us.

Two of our good friends are house sitting for us right now while we are gone. Those friends parents happen to live in the city we were visiting, so they invited us over for lunch.

 But lunch was a much too humble title for the feast we were served. I think there were about 5 main courses! Very yummy, too!

The lady of the house also showed us one of the traditional ways to cook rice - in bamboo

They took us to a place near their house - the equator!

 Alia and Erlend in different hemispheres 

 There is a myth that if you put an egg on the equator it will stand up straight  

Erlend tried - it did not work!

Just a cute one of Alia - so glad that our friend Kristine came on this trip for many reasons, one of them being that we have a lot of cool pictures now. Almost all of the ones I posted were taken by her.

Stay tuned for the next post about when we went interior!
