We are leaving the country tonight for a few days. If I have an internet connection while we are out, I will update the blog.We are leaving because it is part of the process. We came into our country on a tourist visa. Now that our business is established,...

The island’s just too small for a thief to get away. I woke up this morning to the sound of a text message on my phone. It was from my new friend at the police station. It simply said:“Robber caught ha ha ha!”At first, I thought he was joking....

I stayed out really late last night visiting with one of my friends. He took me on a tour of the main island on his motorbike, and then we took a water taxi to another island. We spent a lot of time talking. It was a great night, but...

Angie was released from the hospital last night. She has a several medications to continue to take along with a special diet. We are staying in a hotel for a couple of days so that Angie can have AC. She still gets very tired just walking up the steps...

Hello priceless friends and family, I’ve been asked to write today’s entry, and after four days of hospital rest, I finally feel up to it! Today is Saturday, June 24, and though I’m still in the hospital, I’ve been able to get up, walk around, and visit with Bobby,...

Angie isn’t doing any better. Her fever is still holding steady between 102 and 103 degrees. This is day five with a fever, so we decided it was time to go to the doctor. The whole visit—consultation, lab work, and medication—cost us about $20. That’s really the only good...
