Uncle Dan and Auntie Tina were here for a short (but full!) visit. It was their first time in Africa. Most of the pictures are from those four days, although I threw a few other ones in there that hadn't gotten posted yet.
It's been a while since I've shopped for more than one person. I had to bleach my produce in batches. :)
No, this isn't a comet or shooting star. It's just what happened when I tried to take a zoomed-in picture of a starry night.
No weird camera effects or editing here, just a slightly shaky hand! Cool, huh?

We visited the island - third time for me, and it still hasn't lost its charm.
Big and little, modern and traditional. All side by side (or at least within the same general vicinity).

Is it weird to sing O Come, Emmanuel when Easter is just around the corner? 'Cause I can't seem to help myself.
Just like I can't help myself when I start reading Evangelists. I gotta read the whole thing. In one sitting.
I've lost track of how many times I've read that book, but trust me, it's a lot. (And by "a lot" I don't mean six or seven times. Waaay more than that.) I know the story so well that reading it is like visiting a gloriously familiar place with old friends.
Did I hear the word "obsessive"? No, I'm not obsessive. It just happens to be the best story I've ever read. :)
But of course, it isn't the only book I enjoy.

The day started out a bit overcast, so I didn't think much about sunscreen. Plus, I'd spent most of the day at the island before, and I didn't get burned.
No such luck this time.
My nose got the worst of it, and nearly a week later, I'm peeling off bits every time I look in the mirror.

Potted plants are my one weakness.
(Although I still haven't gotten any for my place...)
This time I was trying to take pictures other than just doors and windows, which is hard, 'cause there are so many cool ones on the island.
I can hardly see a clay pot without thinking of 2 Corinthians 4:7. Some days I'm super thankful that clay pots are exactly what God likes to use.
Some days I'd rather be something a little more impressive and a lot less fragile than a clay pot.

I was unable to refrain entirely from doors and windows. Especially with colors like this. Gorgeous!
Did I mention this island has a lot of color? :)
One of my especially artsy shots...

That fish was grilled with the teeth still in. If you look closely, you can see them.
We're so American - taking pictures of food and taking pictures of people taking pictures.

Eeek! The aliens landed and left their brains on the beach!
Rather an unfortunate name for a boat. Beer.
Guess who this made us think of?!

We went for a drive after church on Sunday. Tablecloths, anyone?
It was funny to see one of these here - I think it was a first for me.
We couldn't believe how many shells were on the beach. So different from back home.
Note to self: Don't cross arms next time. Doesn't look so good in pictures.
There. That ought to be enough pictures for a while. ;)
