Busy Busy Busy

The past few weeks have been busy!  The project is well under way which keeps me very busy!  Running has also gotten busier as my mileage for training has increased.

Last weekend I spent my Sunday in GREAT anticipation of the Chicago Marathon!  I tracked friends who ran and wished that I was in Chicago to be running with them (despite the heat).

I went out and ran here during the marathon in Chicago.  I ran around 7 miles in my Special Olympics running shirt and cheered on the runners in Chicago from here while running "with" them.

Last week was also busy with Birthdays!  Albert's birthday was on Thursday and then Marieke's birthday was on Friday.  We celebrated Albert's birthday with some homemade pizza, a sunset on the roof top and a movie night with Matt and Nelli.  Despite the movie choice it was a great night!

Friday was a big joint birthday party for Albert and Marieke which was TONS of fun! 

Saturday was a low key day.  Albert and I walked to Hippo Point and then had lunch at Kiboko Bay which was beautiful (it's right on the water).  We were going to go to the Impala Park to wander around, but there were buses full of children there so we scrapped that plan.

Below are some pictures from the walk to Kiboko Bay - which is on the way to Dunga Beach (the fishing village).

The gate at the place next door to ours - which is hilarious to me since hippos are herbivores

Typical scenery

 Over-ripened limes - hmmm are they supposed to turn yellow and look like lemons?

 The coolest looking cow EVER!

Last weekend, Albert and I put on more or less identical outfits for the day!  NERDS!
