from the last few days in Canada and forward, you can join me in my thoughts and actions as I learn how to live in a country that I had not even known the exact location until Ryan was there a few years ago. Some days I have rants and other days I have adventures, but every day is a learning experience that I embrace and thank God I was given the opportunity to know and to be. I might even upload a picture of me in this place I now call home – for now.
WILD LIFE IN MY NEW RAINFOREST

better admit this now
The car people arrived at our resort just before we were leaving. They were to bring GPS systems for our cars if we had ordered them. I ended up with a bigger and better one than I had ordered. We all were fumbling around trying to get them working and many ended up listening to some mechanical lady speaking in Malay. I got the right language, but one of the guys insisted on helping me program my destination. Problem was he gave me the wrong destination. I figured that out once on the highway so had to keep telling that mechanical witch that I was not going to go the way she wanted me to go. Also made the mistake of following a brit who I was sure knew what he was doing. Not true, he ended up God knows where and lucky for me I got lost from that adventure because of the many crazy drivers cutting me off. I muddled along and eventually found the highway and entrance to the toll booth. I began to swish through there as we had been told that we do not pay until leaving the highway. Bad choice, sirens were sounding and lights were flashing when I did that. I attempted to pull over but had all sorts of cars rushing by me that had done the correct thing. The toll booth man eventually came to me and handed me the ticket I needed to exit the highway. After that life got better except for that GPS lady getting frustrated with me going the wrong way. I guess I could have unplugged her but she was nice company in the car.
