Dreams have come true ... we woke up to MONKEYS in our yard!!!

This is a shot from the front of the guest house where we're staying until we move into our apartment in a few days. Our logistics coordinator called this morning and told us there was a monkey party going on in our front yard. Sure enough, they were walking across the front balcony, the trees in the front yard and in the tree just outside Noah's window. We were ALL excited and took way too many pictures ... but how often do you see this kind of thing in Arkansas or Texas!!

We then spent the afternoon shopping with 3 other families in the Commercial Street District ... and had lunch at KFC!! There are two families, including us, that have just been here a few days, so we were excited to have some experience guiding us along the shopping paths.

He's given us a gift by connecting our hearts with so many people here!!!

Just when we think we're NOT going to take another picture of a cow, we take a picture of another cow!!

We ran into this man under our stairwell when we got back. This iron was not corded but was instead full of hot coals. Just another way of doing things here....
