Randomness Prevails

We are attempting to be consistent with our blog postings but with that comes some random posts. These pics are not related but just some I wanted to add. Please feel free to comment and give suggestions on what you would like to see on the blog. More text and less pictures...? (You don't have to have a blogger account to post comments)


Here is what we see out of our windows everyday. We live in and apartment building on a large main street and across the street is a wall or...aka toilet. Constantly throughout the day men use the restroom here. They could be walking by and stop for a break or even pull their cars over and get out and use the restroom. It's not one particular spot on the wall, just the wall in general. Anywhere a man wants to drop his pants and go is okay here. I have come upon many a times a man using public places as his own personal toilet. So there you have it, a little bit of cultural insight into our world.




It wouldn't be the Cody and Carrie blog without our traditional "bowling" pics. We went with our students from America this weekend and for some reason we always take tons of pics at the bowling alley. I mean it is a treat to go. So here is our third bowling post. Cody has been working on his form. Looks good huh?


This is one from when my parents came to visit last month. My Mom just sent it. This is the Roman ruins in our city.

Slow Week in Pictures

We have not been diligent in taking photos lately so this what we have to work with this week!


Cody got a new puzzle and was really excited when he finished.



Carrie spent a couple hours at the beach but her skin hadn't seen the light of day since last summer so she immediately scorched. No tan is worth this much pain!

We did have something interesting happen this last weekend though. We went to a fancy restaurant with our neighbors last Saturday night. There was karaoke there and we had a great time. Cody sang Elvis' "All Shook Up" and Cody realized that his voice isn't good enough to be entertaining or bad enough to be entertaining, but the crowd was nice and clapped anyway. Anyhoo, we stayed out until 2 A.M. and then our neighbors drove us home. As we were passing the train station, i saw this man with a haircut like Carrie's. I did a double take and then I told Carrie "I think i just saw a cross-dresser." She said "Why didn't you tell me?!!" As we were discussing this, we passed some other people and our neighbor said "Did you see that homosexual?" I said "Yeah, the one by the train station." And he said "No, the one we just passed." We hadn't, so Carrie asked him to turn around. We turned around and he pulled up right next to one (a different one than I had saw) and Carrie rolled down her window to hear the guy yelling at her "I'm a woman!" and we sped off. Let me tell you, it was definitely not a woman. So, needless to say, we experienced some firsts that night, singing Elvis in a karaoke bar and seeing cross-dressers on the street. Wow, crazy nights in Africa.
