Here we go again. Another adventure. Another country. Another language. This time: Gabon. So, here I am again - the prodigal blogger - coming back to writing. I've realised that my blogging apparently seems to have a direct correlation to the amount of time it takes me to adjust to the new country, for things to stop seeming foreign/really different/interesting and for the place to become home, where, "that's just the way it is". I suppose I process culture shock through writing. Once I'm through it, my writing takes a dive.
Hmmm....is it any wonder that I blogged most consistently in Russia?
So....Gabon!. This will be my second move to a country I've never even visited before. Sam was accepted to a surgical residency program there, and when we got the word where we'd be going, honestly, I had to check the map to see exactly where on the continent it was. So not only have I never been there, but I really knew nothing about it, other than it's a French-speaking country.
Hard to believe, but we've been in Angola for more than two and a half years already. So much has happened here; most notedly, the addition of this little lady:
We've made some GREAT friends. Seen some beautiful places. We've lived in 6 different houses.
It'll be hard to go. But new adventures await - HERE.
