Odds n' Ends of Life/Friends/Trips

This past weekend made me realize that no matter where you move in the world there is always a feeling of home when you are with your friends.

On Saturday 4 of us girls spent 6 hours at the spa being pampered for a fraction of the price you would pay in North America. It was ideal- pedicure/manicure/facial/massage. We then went off to eat out a great Lebanese restaurant followed by meeting more friends out a couple of clubs. It was one of those evenings where you don't want to be anywhere else but with your friends.

Sunday evening we hosted 3 friends for supper- it was a classic Canadian meal- encompassing all of the ethinicities. Indian, Mexican, and Chinese food- it was delicious.

Trips!!

Lamu is this coming weekend- so excited about some beach time. Next weekend the plan is to hike Mount Kenya!! I believe we will be gone for 4 days- hiking to various huts along the path and eventually reaching the summit. We are still working out the logisitics but sounds like it will be a go!



Emily arrives at Christmas and the plan is to go on Safari for 3 nights and 4 days- really looking forward to that since I haven't had the chance to do the official safari as of yet.

January marks the BIG trip! Emily and I will fly to New Delhi to then meet up with Roland's River India company along the river bordering Tibet and India. We will be river rafting for 10 days. It will be the first North American expedition and we are totally excited about this!! It will be the first time I have been on the river with Roland- even though way-back-when I helped him study for his first river rafting safety test.

Heading out for Ethiopian food tonight which seems to be my latest favorite- still having the vegetarian option, as Ethiopian meat is served.... RAW.... yikes.

More throughout the week!
