Moving Right Along

T - A sun doesn't set on a day where we haven't thought about the trip. We read a little, talk a little, do a little online research. We are still waiting on my backpack. Bekah has found today a picture from Dili on cnn.com of women mourning for Pope John Paul II. She also found a few old PCET (East Timor) newsletters that made us laugh. These people go through a lot and they seem to have good humors about it.

Bekah re-submitted her fingerprints with her new last name to PC, so we should be totally clear and ready to go. We went to a hiking store and I found three moisture-wicking and lightweight shirts for the trip and they were all 50% off. Two are Patagonia T's made of Capilene. The other is a Marmot T. Bekah found some good hiking boots. She was looking for North Face shoes like the ones she has now, but we couldn't find them.

I put some more labels on things around the house with their Tetun names. I put up "paun" (bread), "livru" (book), and "etu" (the soon to be our most favorite staple, cooked rice). Bekah and I plan to home-school ourselves on the Tetun language as soon as our jobs end.
