Now the Play
On Friday afternoon, Michele, John, & I went to the mall. Now for most of you, that will not sound that exciting. Only this is the only mall in PNG, and only opened last year. Here Michele and I are enjoying taking a break from just strolling through the mall.
On Saturday, Jim & Michele Axelson took John Grummitt and me to the Port Moresby Orchid Gardens. At the orchid garden, there is also a display of various birds of paradise, lorikeets, and other birds native to PNG. We got to see a new exhibit not really yet open, but as we were the only people there, they let us go through. It shows where they are breeding some of the birds of paradise. I was so amazed at the creativity and beauty of these birds and orchids. Here are a few orchids.

But save the best ‘til last, I have greatly enjoyed my visit with Jim and Michele. We have all been friends for a long time. Michele and I also work well together, and have enjoyed this week of working together again. The evenings visiting and catching up are the best.
Tomorrow we meet with some people about gaining accreditation for some of our courses. Pray that the meetings go well.
