Weekend Number 3

We are at the end of about 5 weeks in hotels, and we still like each other. The most difficult thing about living in one room is keeping it organized. I am a stacker by nature so out of sight can mean out of mind.

As those of you who know us know, Chris and I have a movie date every Friday night. Now he no longer gets every other Friday off nor does he get off early on Fridays, so as of yesterday, we have switched our movie date to Saturdays. Chris passes a vertical mall with a movie theatre on his way to work every day so it seemed a natural to go there since it's closer. We chose to see Nim's Island. It piqued my sense of adventure. Our driver picked us up and dropped us at the mall. We went in, bought our tickets and popcorn and went in and sat where we always do front and center, not all the way to the front but a few rows back. There were only a couple of other people in there and it was about 10 minutes to showtime. So, lights out and previews start and all of a sudden, the Nigerian children appeared in mass and we were right in the middle of their sitting area so they were all around us, and they are loud. The adults are loud but the children are louder. Wow!

Anyway, it was a great movie and we enjoyed it. It was also a reminder that we are minorities in Nigeria so we always need to be mindful and respectful of that.

Today is Sunday and we are having a wonderful lazy one. Our driver is off on Sunday so we work out, shower and then walk a few blocks to a coffee house with wonderful French pastries. Chris in now snoozing with car racing on TV in the background. He is in heaven.

Maybe later we will go for a swim, either before or after brunch.

Later gator!
