September Highlights

We were busy this month!  In September, we...

• Visited the Arts and Crafts Village for the first time.  We tried bartering and bought a some bracelets and necklaces.
• Had our first meal at Johnny Rockets.  This restaurant never caught my eye in the States, but it is a heavenly slice of America in Abuja.
• Learned how clay pottery is made and purchased a few pieces from Stephen at Bwari Pottery
• Saw how shea butter is made 
• Saw our family on Facetime regularly
• Made it into the AISA Newsletter  
• Unpacked and set up our house
• Had fun at a Labor Day cook out
• Started running again (Kristin)
• Joined the swim team (Sydney)
• Started karate (Jack)
• Attended a beer launch party at our pool
• Traveled to Germany for work(how convenient that it was during Oktoberfest)
• Got our first Nigerian clothes made for Nigeria Day at school
