10 days feels like a lifetime and then it ends.
Christine, Kendra and Andrew were here for 10 days and we trapped that time and shoved a whole lot into it and still it ended! Doesn't it just baffle your mind when you feel like something is taking for ever and then all the sudden it's over! This use to always happen to me at work in the States, I would feel like the day was dragging on and then suddenly it was over!
One of my favorite days with them all here was also one of our most tragic days. The first Friday they were here we all headed out to our friend's farm. A "farm" here is much different than what you would imagine. The farm looks like this:
This is our friend's brother and he trains falcons. Falcons are "birds of prey" and Christine took a shot at holding one, she is much braver than I am!
The farm was a really great time and we were even able to four wheel on the dunes. Just about the time for dinner Christine and Jessie took a spill on their bike. Christine went one way and Jessie and the bike the other. As most of you know by now her leg looked like this. I will let you see her leg on her blog... it was pretty nasty!
This was a day to remember for sure- I think we became 10 times closer to our local friends, tragedy has a way of doing that to people and my visitors from home will not forget the blood dripping out of Jessie's open wound! That night quickly came to an end.
Jessie's has repeatedly told us that "we are going four wheeling again as soon as I am better" it was fun and apparently it was worth the injury!
