I've Been In Africa For About A Month

Post by JimT »

Just returned to the US last week. Taking some getting used to the cold weather here. In Mozambique it never got over 100 during the days and the nights cooled off to about 80. Humidity was never much over 80% most of the time. The weather kept me feeling loose ... joints did not ache ...

I have posted 10 new videos of various parts of the trip at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrScqM ... Zor5NqBtgw for those who are interested. I spent most of my time there visiting friends and family and checking on the various projects we are still involved in. It was very tough, grueling work. Here's a couple photos to prove that....

Thanks. It took me 4 or 5 days to get over being crammed into a small metal tube and flung halfway around the world at high velocity.

I seriously doubt that I'd fly anyplace in the continental USA ever again. I despise such close proximity to people I don't know. Loud, disruptive children should be stowed as luggage :lol:

nice photos JImT, I worked west Africa after I got out the services. What I noticed most about the women there is they walk everywhere and carry stuff on their head as a result they have great upright poise, they stride around like models. I'd get back home after 6 months and women here looked flabby and skulking like they were expecting the sky to fall on them. Funny but true. :lol:

Well said Doc. Jim, thank you for carrying the Lord's word, and a helping hand, to those in need!
