We are facing a number of challenges as we are here. The biggest for the both of us are the hikes through the bush we go on each week. We are situated on top of a mountain so every where we go means going down the side of the mountain than back up again. Between the heat and the mosquitoes it is very important to make good use of bug repellant and drink plenty of water. Next week we will be going on an all day hike and after that a three day hike. These hikes are helping us to get into better shape. Pictured here you will find Kevin & Gertrude with others on one of several hikes.
Another challenge for me (Kevin) is learning Tok Pisin, the national trade language. There are a lot of borrowed English words that makes it an easy language to learn, but it does have its difficulties in learning the grammar and it many idioms. I am pleased with the progress that I am making with the language.
