So Nate just got back from 3 weeks in Africa. We got us some theatre tickets to celebrate (yes we are partay animals indeed). Nate arrived during the day so he went to Mare's work to get the house keys and this is how the conversation went:
Mare: Hey Nate how are you?!
Nate: good good...(continued small talk)
Mare: We got some theatre tickets for tonight so go home, shower, get changed into your best clothes and meet me here at 5.30
Nate: huh?
Mare: home, shower, best clothes, here at 5.30
Nate: umm... I dont have any clothes...
Mare: huh?
Nate: I gave them all away...
Yet his bag still weighted 17kgs!
So we went to see 'Blood Brothers' anyways and heard some of nates awesome stories from Ugand, Rwanda, Berundi and Kenya. He had a hellofan adventure over there and it shook him up a bit. It sounds like an amazing place to go. Especially the way he did it. He went through an organisation called Come And See Africa (CASA), which house missionaries and organises trips for non-missionaries too. Nate did that latter. Apparently there is a Christian revival going on in Africa at the moment. Missionaries and preachers dont have the best rep with many people but it sounds like they are giving the people a lot to live for - hope. It sounds pretty mushie but they dont have much over there so hope is enough.
This was the longest time Mare and I have had to catch up with El Nata for 2 years. We all went traveling through south america together and got to relive some great stories - like Mare's upset stomach, Nates Bolivian girlfriends and my toilet incidents which we wont get into.
Another friend form the US came to visit on monday night. Shappy we call him, or if you are a Shakira fan - "Shapiro Shapiro...oh baby when you move like that.." Ok Im finished.
Shappy travelled around Europe doing what we have all done - gotten drunk in hostels. And just experiencing europe and travel and getting food poisoning...at Heathrow airport - on the way home! How? I dunno. Hopefully it wasnt the dinner we made him the previous night.
...Shapiro Shapiro...
