Day of Joking and Laughing

Picture 1 - My brother and his wife Toni moments after arriving from Scotland. Toni is in the process of pouncing on me.

Well, today was a fantastic day!!! We joked around and laughed all day long with family and friends. Numerous old friends dropped by throughout the day to catch a glimpse of the great Wiebe's reunited once again. We only left dad and mom's place briefly to go and get kebabs from the local kebab shop. We already had curry yesterday and I think we might do a repeat when we get back from Sierra Leone. My brothers and I, as well as an old family friend Marco, spent a fair bit of time playing Mario Cart. I'm pretty sure there are few people as good as us at this game. The rivalry was fierce and all the old tricks and tactics came flooding back to all of us just like the old days. It was a pretty noisy room to be in. Everyone is in high spirits and the feeling of being reunited once again is overwhelming.

We're now packed and ready to go for the Sierra Leone portion of our trip. We depart first thing in the morning, October 25. It will be another gruelling flight, at the end of which we will see dad. He has called 4 times in the last 18 hours. Mom thinks he's feeling very left out so far.
