Flying to Abuja, Nigeria in December for a State Department Job.....And in January, A Four Day Running Vacation in Bermuda......




.....with the American Embassy there. Abuja is the capital of Nigeria--a planned community to replace the former head of government in Lagos. Although the city is not completed yet today, it is considered an oasis in much of Nigeria's troubles. Here, the crime rate and ethnic strife are less pronounced but the city has not been immune from violence.


This job was originally scheduled last August and was postponed when the United Nations headquarters there was bombed killing 24 people.


We'll try it again and I should be home by December 18--enough time to do a little pre-Christmas celebration this year.


I decided not to buy another camera and just purchased the new IPhone 4S so I will be using it as my camera and it takes fantastic photos.

And I should have plenty of opportunities to take fantastic photos in January when I go to Bermuda to run the Bermuda Triangle Challenge: a one-mile run on the first night; a 10K (6.2 mile) run the next day; and a half marathon on the third day. My knee really acted up after Iceland so we'll see......
