Friday 19 Feb

It was nice to have a day off. We still had training to do and I had a little paperwork to complete.

The night before I ran 6km had a pot of K-D and two beers and was in bed by 11pm. Friday Kai and I made Pancakes for breakfast (haven't had any since Christmas morning) and then I made some chocolate chip cookies. As I made the cookies the chips melted...LOL They became chocolate cookies...LOL

About 1:00pm it was getting real hot. I measured the temp outside. It was 55 degrees in the sun and 48 degress in the shade with 20% humidity. Inside my cabin with the A/C on it was 35 degrees!!! Thats a HOT DAY!!!

So the rest of the day I did my laundry and cleaned my cabin while watching movies. I think I watched 3 movies that day. It was a nice day to chill out and not to have to deal with too many people... Maybe I am getting older...LOL

We found out some interesting things during the week and actually witnessed some things that we have never before witnessed. The annoying part is that the leader did not mention it in his report until a day later when I mentioned to him the massive immportance of what we had seen. Only then did he mention it to someone... even then I am not sure if he actually did.

What we had seen went against the UN and international humanitarian law. And we were the first to have witnessed it.

Tomorrow (Sunday) I am going to try to work more on the bar here. If I don't no one else will. There is NO will or drive in almost anyone you meet here. The problem with working on the bar is that it is so hot during the day. At 9:30pm it is still 40 degrees here.

I will try once again to get some pictures up soon. The internet has been slower then ever before.

I am counting down the weeks and days till I make my move home....

I will update again next week.
