We are still stunned by the contrasts, having left Nigeria and traveled to a variety of locations in the past week:
Paris, cold/NGA, hot!
Singapore -- clean, clean, so very clean!! Nigeria -- not!
Jim and I had a contest going on who would find the first piece of trash. I won ... on our second day! And it was a microscopic piece of a candy wrapper.
In NGA we could have contests on who spots the first piece of clean dirt ... and no one would have won, yet!
Green and beautiful -- gardens everywhere. The sides of the road -- all gardens! We were speechless (and we haven't stopped talking about it!)
Clean water -- amazing! Blue ocean water. Clean rivers, even!
And now we're in the land of Oz.
OK, the internet cafe is closing so I'll continue with the contrasts another day!

We'll be going back. Our company is pulling all children out and spouses have an option to leave, if desired.
All employees are staying, so, now that I'm employeed, too, that means we'll both be back.
But, we'll be quite safe in our camp.
The car bomb didn't hurt anyone -- which means that they didn't want to hurt anyone, still. That's the good news!
I'll have more info later.
'have had a hard time getting to internet access!
