About midnight last night we woke up not because there was a storm...we have quite a few of these, but because it was raining in our bedroom. The wind was so strong that it was blowing the rain into our bedroom and on to our bed. If you want to know what it was like...flash yourself with a camera flash over and over again for about 45 minutes while you are standing in the shower and someone is moving your heavy wooden furniture over your hardwood floors. I know, we have all been in thunderstorms and I am sure the ones here are not any more spectacular then any, it was just fun trying to figure out how you could duplicate the effects. Needless to say, we got up to mop the floors, close all the windows and thanked God for the needed rain.
Scott and Nick woke up a t 4:30 this morning to go surfing. This will be Nicks first time and I am hoping that one of these days I will also be invited. Having never participated in any organized sports I am finding that I am handicapped in this very sports minded community. We always have something going...basketball, floor hockey, volleyball, indoor soccer, racquet ball, and now surfing. I seem a bit on the older side to pick up a sport to learn it, and most here have been doing all of these things for a lot of their lives. Not a lot of learners, but a lot of doers.
Tonight is Jazz night here in out little expat community. The theme for the evening is show tunes and Mijo and I are both participating. She is singing a solo while I am singing in a trio. This seems to be a huge event for all involved and everyone goes all out to get in costume. So far 250 tickets have been sold, mind you that does not include all of us who are participating. This also gives you a sense of how large the expat community is here in Sentani.
