We had a good time yakking and ended up having pizza delivered. She also came up Friday night to visit, and she\u2019s loaning us her car for a couple of weeks &#8211; so nice of her.<\/p>\n<p>We took the car to the grocery store yesterday. It\u2019s nearby and was my first time behind the wheel here. It was fine, but there are lots of potholes, little things like tuk-tuks they call kay-kays, and no traffic signs or signals.<\/p>\n<p>We attended the Ambassador\u2019s annual holiday tea Tuesday morning where we met a lot of Liberian officials &#8211; John met the President, a former soccer star. The residence is right on the ocean with a beautiful view.<\/p>\n<p>We went to the gym on the OEC for the first time yesterday morning. I\u2019ve neglected my physical therapy and am dismayed at my walking (very limpy) so I am trying to get back to my good habits now that we\u2019re a bit more settled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The week was crazy busy.
