Well, I guess being in South Sudan has a lot of advantages - like, we have no COVID-19 here......well at least no one knows about it.
The truth is it probably is here but has not been identified yet since this time of year there are a lot of respiratory problems due to the dust and burning of vegetation. We still shake hands, although some organizations are putting a ban on that. We still go about our normal day.
Lynn is coming back from Kenya today where he went for a meeting and some routine medical stuff. Poor guy had to suffer with Ethiopian and Indian food and getting to go to our favorite coffee shop, Java House. Oh, and seeing friends and being invited to their place for a meal.
We were planning a trip to Sudan but that has been put on hold due to the virus even though it is not in Sudan or here where we live.
I have been thinking a lot about all the travel bans and now the whole of Italy being on lock down. Maybe this is not such a bad thing. Just think, we can stay in our countries and not deal with airport stuff, maybe actually do some real cleaning at home, talk with each other - really talk with each other, take a break from the craziness of our normal lives. I realize that there is the financial side of things and that that is scary but I still wonder if this is a chance to hit a reset button on what is important in our lives.
Okay, on to fun things - like I just tried a bread recipe I got from Kendra and it is SO good. More of a pain to make but really worth it. I would love to try sour dough bread but we travel so much. I was wondering if you can freeze the starter?
