We got up early last Sunday (even for us) to talk with our good friends from Africa. We've talked to them on the phone before, but this was the first time we've ever 'Skyped' with them. For those unhip folks (like me) who don't know what Skype is let me explain. It's a simple way to talk with friends over the internet using a webcam. You can talk with virtually anybody in the world and we did!
Our friends, the Leists, have been living in Africa since August and they will be there at least through next September so it was just a treat to be able to see them. Well kind of. The hotel they were staying in over the holidays was quite dim so it was a bit like watching spooky Santa talk to us over the computer.
Guess what we have in common with those guys? The temperature outside. Ours was 26 degrees and so was theirs in Mombasa (off the African coast on the Indian Coast for those who are geographically challenged). Too bad ours was Farenheit and theirs was Celcius!
