A Few More Photos

During our travels we learned why we we drink bottled water. See we do not have a bathtub in our apartment, but knowing that our hotel would, we were both excited to have a soak. Well, after filling the tub up we both noticed that the water was a bit brown...the photo really does not do it justice. We still took baths (and showered afterwards), but we finally understood why our whites must be bleached so often.














We also ate at a rib place while on vacation. The owner said he went to Texas and ate at over a hundred barbecue places, and took photos of each restaurant's sign. I even saw a sign from each of our hometowns. It was a pretty exciting moment for us, but not so much for our friend's who were not from Texas.













To get around in our vacation country we had to ride on the back of pick-up trucks that have been rigged up so that people can sit in the back. They still drive really fast and try to rip off the vacationers, but it is apparently the only way to travel.













Lastly we would like to thank the folks responsible for putting up this sign. I was really considering jumping in but thanks to the warning, I now know better. (This is a subway tunnel with high voltage tracks running on both sides)

Back Home

So, we went on vacation, and it could not have come any sooner. We had a difficult time getting out of country as the snow delayed and then canceled our flight. Nevertheless, 18 hours later we were on a plan to a warmer country! First thing was first...Western Food!!! We both gained weight on this trip, but this being our first chance to eat Western food that L did not have to make, we did not hold back. Below is a photo of a place we went to. The owner was from Houston.



The sun is a bit intense here, and unfortunately we did not have any sunscreen. So, L sat under an umbrella by a pool for a couple of hours one morning and wound up with a sunburn. Apparently in the South Pacific area indirect sunlight is just as strong direct in Texas. This is not the best photo of us, but is shows her burn pretty well : )



This is a photo of the cutest little dog and of the girl who refused to let us pet it.



Well we eventually had to come back, but we got to spend Valentines day in a very large city. So, we finally got to have a date that was not at Pizza Hut or McDonalds. We found this trolly car restaurant very close to our hotel, and...



We had Cold Stone for desert! It was a great Valentines day, and in fact it was our first one in which one of us was not working.



We would like to give a "shout out" to everyone at our Lake Arlington class. We miss you guys!
