I wish I could say I know what I did on my Storm Blackberry for this brilliant image. But, regardless, I am calling this "Ghosts of Juba", as I believe that this picture very much represents the Street Girls of Juba. Ghosts....

I'm calling this silhouette - Who Knows Her? I love this picture. It so represents to me the Street Girls of Juba.

Beautiful!

She looks so proud. God bless her as she sleeps on the streets tonight. The center is ready, but not enough money for security guards. Soon she will be safe.

My dear friend Michele sent dvds through my husband to give to the street girls. She is so AWESOME!!!

I'm not exactly sure how I am surviving here. The attached shows why I was electrocuted in the new guest house. I've had no hot water in the new guesthouse for over 2 weeks. Still, it is South Sudan, so the water is luke warm anyway! LOL!!!

Closer look...

Yes, one of the best cups of "Cream of Spanish" soups I've ever had!

With two conferences/meetings going on, they are all eating downstairs in the conference room, leaving the restaurant for me! A little bit of precious alone time. And, since they found the new chief, good food!

For the DH. I got a great iPad bag at the Sustainable Store in NBO. I'm so in love with this bag!

Can't come to Karen Holiday Homes & not take a picture of the view from my window!

New breakfast taste. No maple syrup here in Kenya. How about some dark honey with your French toast. They do try and please me here. And, it's not that bad!

For the DH....MAN! how I miss those nights at Facia Luna! What were they thinking dropping MAN? Oh, well...at least I can get it now!

Back in what I lovingly call "The Princess Room" (due to it's all white nature). So nice! In NBO for a few days work.

Hmmm....several of the hangers at Karen Holiday homes seems to have traveled a little. Oddly, as I was at the US Embassy this afternoon, I passed this hotel on my way back. First time I had seen it. Same as all the others. A big cinderblock box. I do love Karen Holiday Homes!

Cats of Karen Holiday Homes!

Oh yeah baby, swimming in Nairobi in January!

Tree Planted Outside My New Room

Sunday evening @ Sahara Resort Hotel....

The well traveled pillow. Given to me by a dear friend after her tour in Kuwait. It seems to like this part of the world!

Just another drive home from work....

Japanese good luck charm. Gift from a new friend who is now in Astana, Kazhakstan.

Happy new year!

Back to Juba today! Until we meet again Karen!

Holidays almost over!

My favorite relaxing place, Karen Family Holiday Homes. Yes, of ourselves, that is a Tusker!

Welcome back to NBO!

Well, if all I get to see is the inside of a hotel, might as well be this one. Had a nice breakfast outside!

Yeah, I'm in Dubai
