So I guess I have found facebook and neglected my blog. In the event that there are still people reading, I feel it is fair to inform you that I am suffering on the beach of the UAE. It is so hot here. I have to do things like go swimming with youth and look at jellyfish and crabs and eat at buffets with a million choices. It is really a rough life. I know no one else would want to suffer such things as getting a tan (ok, maybe a burn) while laying on a beautiful beach. But I am here doing just that.

Really, the youth I am in charge of are a great group and we have had some good converstion outside of the swimming and kayaking that has happened. We even watched some hockey.. I am not used to be with so many Canadians overseas - most of the people I worked with in Guinea were American.

Anyways, I am going to get back to camels, deserts, crabs, and mangoes. Just thought you might want to know I am alive.
