Canada/Burundi day

On the eve of Canada day, my colleague chris and I stayed up till about 1 am. We were catching dragon flies and grasshoppers. We invented "Middle Game" a great fun version of caps, laughed and listened to music. The following morning, we had breakfast at about 9 and proceeded to clean and prep for our pizzas. Susan joined us and together, we made the sauce, chopped veggies, grated cheese and flattened dough. Susan also made some sweet dough to fry into "Beaver Tails" as dessert.

Mid afternoon, some Burundi co-workers came over, we sat down enjoyed laughs, some za and beaver tails over Burundi's locally brewed beers. Amstel blonde and Primus Lager, some modest very fairly priced drinkable beer. We also played some beer pong on this momentous occasion, dual country birthdays called for it. Not having the plastic dixie cups we are used to playing with back home, we substituted for what we had; porcelain coffee mugs. Really, really, really increased rebounds and difficulty; so we played with no swatting, no blowing and fingering, Gentleman shots on rebounds only.

Great fun, great day, the pizza turned out pretty well I think... Im biased, so you be the judge.

We had a pineapple, salami chicken onion green pepper pizza; a ham, pineapple, chicken pizza; a salami cheese pineapple and a banana ham pinapple pizza. The banana one was the least favorite, suggested by one of the south african expats, I can't really say I was a HUGE fan, if you picked off the banana and ate it separately... The banana wasn't bad.

3 days to South Africa, I can taste it.
