Day 2 in Liberia - Sunday! HOT! Humid!

We wake up and our bodies are not use to the time change. But we go to breakfast and have humongous pancakes with eggs. They also had some native fruits and veggies that were...interesting.

After that, we got ready for church and went in a taxi cab. The people there just stared and stared at us because of our newness in the ward. But the members were friendly and welcomed us to the ward. Each one came to us and shook our hands and introduced themselves.

The building had no AC so we were sweating so much that we could have filled up a water bottle. Gross.

After church we took a long nap until dinner. The restaurant served American and Lebanese food. Mom, Dad, and MEG got delicious Lebanese food. But Lawrence, GG and I, are having a little trouble switching to the more cultural foods. So in our final hoorah for American food we went all out. Greasy hamburgers with french fries and coleslaw. Yum.

After dinner we all sat in our one hotel room and played a few card games. That was fun! Now we are getting ready for bed.

  2. No AC??!!! Wow, coming from the Northwest, that will take some getting used to!
    As I recall, Taiwan during my high school years didn't seem to bother me much. Of course I was taking at least 4 showers a day! --Rob & Cathy
