Picture time

This month has been pretty busy. English classes have started. I'm teaching one class in my town and one class in the town I'll be moving to at the end of this month.

Yesterday was Eid al-Adha the day Msms commemorate Abraham sacrificing his son. What a great bridge to talking about deep truths! The Father spared Abraham's son... yet did not spare His own Son (Rom. 8:32).

 Instead of writing a lot this time I'm giving you a few pictures to look at.

Island life remains interesting. The greatest challenge of late has been avoiding men and their unappreciated advances. I contemplated writing a post about the "man of the day" -- who managed to be the most annoying man during my day... but probably will leave that topic alone.

Alright, picture time!

Sunset at the beach

Trash at the beach. This is the typical beach scene here.

Looking across to the port

House construction.

This is one of my favorite places for a peaceful walk

There's a woman blocking the view, but if you look closely you might be able to see the man sitting on the back of the motorbike, holding the wheelbarrow as a trailer. African problem solving!

Handmade drums. The guy who makes them has dozens stacked in his shack.

Dressed up for Eid!
