A day of wonder........

Hello, this is Mom Ruseler, I just got off a 45 minute phone conversation with Jordan and Corbin. I will try to share their eventful day as I heard it from them. First, Jordan and Mrs. Benton went bulk shopping. Corbin and Zack had to stay in the car so that nothing would get stolen while the girls did the shopping. Jordan said that it was like multiple firework stands, and someone was always attending to you. They would point at what they were interested in and then barter over the price. Later, they went swimming in the Indian Ocean which was warm and pleasant. There were not many sea shells but there were small crabs that Corbin and Zack hunted down with sand balls. So, Corbin has had his first African hunting adventure. Zack was able to be successful at catching two crabs. Small as they were, they got their picture taken and were released. They swam for about 5 hours. They both mentioned the traffic more than once. They were awed by the freedom to do as you please and go as fast as you would like. Corbin said that it was like a packed freeway without the divider where you would see a u-turn at any time. Motorcycles would crowd together with four in the space of a car and someone even decided to go on the wrong side of the road because he didn't want to wait any longer. Jordan mentioned that even though everything was so very different, it already felt normal......... hummm. They have enjoyed all the food, especially the fish! They have not had any tummy problems, praise the Lord! And they slept very little on the flights over. Jordan said that it seems as if Corbin has hardly slept at all and is more awake than any of them.... ready to go. It was 11 pm their time when we were talking at which time Corbin and Zack were playing cribbage as each of them had half their bodies out from under their mosquito nets with the board between the bunk beds. Ah, the fun of having no schedule..... Corbin mentioned the monkey that was just hanging around town and Jordan mentioned the goats (of course) that were tied up in fields. It was a joy to hear their voices and their awe and excitement in all that was going on around them. They look forward to a day of souvenir shopping tomorrow and then starting their travels to the valley. More when I hear. Thanks for following.
