Action in Africa

Whats up y’all.  Its me again, I told myself I wasn’t going to post anything today but for many reasons as you will soon read I changed my mind.  This is internet access is costing me a fortune.  I was able to barter 3 autographed York Region Firefighter Calenders and one signed photograph of Shan and Arnold posing in there ‘Wonder Twin’ underoos while standing on the picnic table.  Unfortunately all that got me was my first 10 minutes free.  Its too bad the internet speed is so slow and I have already used five minutes.

Thanks for all the cooments and emails.  Sorry I have not responded to you all but my internet time is short.  I will do my best to respond.  Pics are coming I promise.  And yes you can send other people to this site.

So the funniest thing happended yesterday on our way to the cafe.  A group of us were walking along one of the main streets in Ndola to go and fire off some emails.  If your not aware they drive on the opposite side of the road here, street lights are staggered and pedestrians are treated the same as a raccoon trying to cross the 404.  Anyhow (this is a true story by the way) most of the group crossed the street when the opportunity arose.  All except for Andy and myself.  Well I didn’t want to leave Andy by himself on the other side so I waited along with him until the opportunity arose were we could dart across safely.  Well it took a while but finally there was an opening.  “Lets go!” we ran across the street but for some strange reason Andy ran to the far right of me.  There was a bus coming and Andy ran like the wind.  As I ran across and over to the sidewalk all I heard was pops (Ted) yelling “DITCH!, DITCH!, DITCH!” I looked over and there was Andy running only to disappear and fall straight into the 5 foot ditch! luckily feet first.  He had us all in stiches.  He escaped the ditch unscathed minus a little booboo on his leg.  We almost pi$$ed our pants.  All we could think of afterwards was he could have just ran into a black momba nest.  Any time I see him I can hear a song in my head; “Its ANDYYY loveable huggable ANDYYYY!”  Hey Sharon (cuz) I feel a sitcom here $$$$!  ahhh ya gotta love him.  Don’t worry Donna I am now personally looking over your brother and I assure you and your family he will return in one piece.  We are looking at purchasing a giant bubble to help protect him.

Today however was another story.  It was a day that in all seriousness the we will never forget for the rest of our lives.  I know I said I changed my mind about posting a message today but I have changed my mind again.  I have decided to leave you in suspense but not on purpose.  I started to encapsulate everything but I need a little more time to absorb my experiences today and present it to you in a manner that makes sense to not only me but for you too.  So much happened that I need a little more time to put it together.  Today moved me in ways that I could not possibly imagine.  Today I experienced just a piece of the “African Experiece”
