Happy 4th of July BRRRRR!!!

This is a group of some of the Americans that got together for a big celebration for the 4th of July

Since we have been back in PNG we have heard and seen reports of how hot it has been back in Spokane.  Well it is "winter" here.  It has been reaching the low 40's at night here.  No that isn't too cold EXPECT for one minor detail that is missing; There is no inside heat anywhere, no insulation in the homes.  So whatever the temperature outside it is that inside.  We pile on as many blankets as we possibly can on our beds.  Put on fuzzy socks, and pray that you don't have to get out of your warmish bed too early is how we are coping.  During the day it is beautiful blue skies.  But when the sun goes down there goes all the heat.  Praying for rain for our water tank that is 2/3 empty and also that the clouds would insulate us from the cold more.

One of the guys got these paper balloon things to fly. Adults and kids loved it.
