Friday came quickly and we were back in Tonj. We had a really nice time in Rumbeck. We spent most of the mornings and afternoons hanging by the pool. Then we headed back to AfEx (the place we were staying) and relaxed in our air conditioned rooms until dinner. Cathy, a missionary who helps out at Safari Style sometimes, really saved our vacation. She helped us find accommodation and gave us a ride to and from the pool everyday. She also took Suzy and I to the market on Friday morning. Rumbeck is a much bigger town than Tonj so their market has a lot more selection than our local market. We had fun walking around and shopping. Sabet was surprised when we came back with a ton of stuff. Once Awad and Dabu arrived to pick us up, we headed back to Tonj. The ride wasn't too bad, about three and a half hours. We put a mattress down in the back and were able to lay down the whole ride home. Even though we were only gone for three days, it was nice to reunite with everyone when we returned.
While we were in Rumbeck, there was a big conference going on. The British Ambassador to Sudan was staying at Safari Style along with his security detail. We talked with him for a bit and he was really nice.
Health Update: I am still having some stomach issues, but I am so much better than I have been for the last ten days. My cold is completely gone too. Maybe it's the healing waters of Safari Style! :)
