Don't Fight Africa

All week Cindy has been reminding us DFA. I have no trouble with that concept, although I think Zoe's finding it a little harder. I love the attitude over here - you just accept whatever happens, it's a very calm way of living. Today was our day to move into our house in the compound, and as you can imagine meant quite a few things to organise. Given that we're in Africa, this meant quite a few things to go wrong.

Lisa, another SIL staff member, picked us up early in the morning to go shopping for supplies. There were two ATMs within a practical radius. Neither of them would read Zoe's card. Therefore, we were relying entirely on the small amount of cash we had out. This meant for some strict budgeting, which meant we had to keep track of our total the whole way through. Kind of tiresome in a fun way.

After that we went back to Cindy's, where we packed our stuff, then I went out to play with the girls...
