Another Day in Lagos

We know, we know… you haven’t heard from us in a little while. Relative to Bryan’s last blog, that’s a good thing! Other than the busyness of school, things have been quite low key here. BUT, to sate your curiosity, here are some of the goings-on of Bryan and Kara in Lagos during May 2007:

o Kara has her green belt in Shotokan karate!!! Bryan has been a little nicer lately : )
o Only three weeks left in school, then off to Greece before we head home
o We made plans to visit a chocolate factory (Kara’s dream since watching “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” all too often throughout her childhood), Alcatraz at night (Bryan decided that) AND the Jelly Belly Factory before heading up to Lake Tahoe for our IB training
o We just got done watching Season 5 of “24”… in less than a week and now Bryan has a bunch of Jack Bower-isms. I’m sure you’ll hear more about those in the near future
o The terrestrial (land) crabs continue to fascinate Kara
o We have “secret connections” to get stuff over to us from the states. The most recent American products, unavailable in Lagos, brought to us by a student were red vines, Butterfinger bars and crystal light.
o We will be having a day off from school due to the Nigerian national holiday of "Democracy Day" on May 29. A nice little bit of irony for us all

We’re doing well and are so excited to see many of you over our summer break!!! Take care and stay tuned…
