Birthdays

Bruce had to eat downstairs with the men while Jan was upstairs with the women.

Bruce was granted the 'ok' to light his cake with the women's party.

Then we danced.

And the women danced around too.

Jan had her birthday dinner out in Nafplion Greece with our accommodation host.

Summer Holiday - It was all Greek to me!

The Oasis Church family picnic.  So nice to be out in the countryside.

African adventure in Spring

 It's not as easy as it looks to get on one of these.  We got blisters from just a couple of hours ride!

 And you thought they were huge, right?  We had a very clever photographer/guide.

The sellers were chucking their stuff up on the boat and we were supposed to buy and throw back the money in a plastic bag with the stuff we didn't want.  They were out to 'get us' even on the journey.  Hillarious!

Egypt was a grea holiday and I can recommend taking a cruise down the Nile... awesome.

A Greek Tragedy

My students have been learning about ancient Greece and when we got to the arts the boys wanted to write their own tragedy.  I thought seeing that they did such a superb job we should perform it in the downtown amphitheatre which is actually Roman but the same stye.  It was awesome.  The girls (including me) recited poetry!

Don't we look great!  (and to think there were some tourists there snapping shots to take home.. and me looking weird like this!)

The Jesus Trail

Bruce, Brandon and Justin went to Israel for 5 days to walk the five day trail in three days.  They ended up taking a short cut to Tiberias instead of walking to Capernaum.  They got a taxi in Tiberias to take them around Capernaum and back to Nazareth.  Then they got the bus down to Jerusalem and stayed overnight with our friend in Bethlehem.  They had a great time.  Here's some photos:
