Well...just to keep you updated...we will be going to one of our homes in 11 hours!!! Swansea, here we come! We are very excited to go and see family, friends, Christmas lights, Tescos, buses, trains, snow (maybe), etc.! While we are enjoying our time here, work has been stressful, and we have again faced some challenges. Our principal, resigned for a second time, and this time, she is actually gone. We are a bit nervous for the lack of guidance/Western support, but we are happy to have a break from it for awhile. We are all packed and counting down the hours/minutes until we leave! If you are reading this and in the UK, we hope we see you while we are there. We'll keep you all posted as to what we are up to while home!

P.S. National Day is a big issue here. The country is very young, which when remembered, helps us put a few of their discretions into perspective. Here are some pictures from National Day.
