Back in the Saddle

Well, where to start….

True to my word, I found my way back, though much earlier than I had intended. As it happened, they needed someone who had been here before to cover since there were two of us coming out this time. This time, well, everything is different. I’ll get into that in another post, sufficed to say it has drastically altered my fun factor. No crazy incidents on the way over, no people pretending to be medical missionaries, no crazy nights in foreign cities, no oompaloompas (see my 2nd entry for reference), nothing. In fact, I contemplated creating a scene just so I had something to entertain me (I’m perpetually 5 years old). The only thing remotely interesting that happened was sharing a booth with some random stranger at an airport bar while waiting to get a beer, even he was boring!

After an unceremonious arrival to Kole, I was greeted briefly by the two people we were replacing. Most of their time was spent yelling and getting their luggage on the plane as fast as they could. I got a “Hey, glad you’re here, I’ll email you the details later, bye!” From there it was back to the house to settle in..
