Our house, known as "the yellow house"

Fast friends-- first day of soccer with a very enthusiastic 6th grade

Last night Steven and Cindy held a braai (South African bbq) to welcome us to Memel.  Because there was rain in the forecast, instead of having it at their house it was held at the Memel Hotel, which is the only restaurant/bar in the town.  They've got a great courtyard and indoor dining/ lounge rooms and a pool table.  They had about thirty of their friends and employees there so we got to have some great food, drinks, and meet and hang out with lots of new people.  It was tons of fun.  

We bought the equipment for internet access at our house, but it is incredibly slow, so I'll probably only update this every couple of weeks or so when we come to Newcastle, where we are now.  It's a small city about 40 minutes from Memel with plenty of internet cafes.   On the drive here we saw a bunch of zebras and ostriches and antelope type animals.  It's also about 80 degrees and sunny.  Can't complain.
