These are some of the fun friends I got to see over the past few days. I had to go to immigration in the capital but was able to stop and see a friend there and then keep going and see my Iraqi friends that have moved. My friend who was in the accident had gone on a

trip and I didn't see him but got to see his wife and girls. We also have had friends stop by this island and there are more coming in a few days!

Merry Christmas!

I final got some things put up on the walls of my house and I think it looks homey now. I also decorated for Christmas. I think I'll have an open house for Christmas and try to have some friends over to eat, if I can figure out some food...

My guest room is still ready and waiting for you to come over. The curtains don't match, they and the pillows belong to my landlord. I haven't gotten around to making any new ones yet.
