Guided tour via Skype

Cool - just now we had a guided tour of my brother Rogan's house in Colorado - his webcam and wifi and laptop and Skype. Great technology!

I had a wonderful hour-long catch-up via Skype with my brother Rogan, last night. One of the enjoyable things of us both having excellent broadband is that staying in voice (and even video) contact is easy. They have lived in Southfork, Colorado since January 2007:

Nicole, Amy, Caroline, Rogan, Emma - Looking so much more relaxed than we we last saw them 9 months ago

They recently purchased their first home - something they had not been able to do when living in Zimbabwe. It is a typical wooden house for the mountain area they live in, and was originally delivered on a truck, in two halves. Their eldest daughter Amy is home from College for the summer, and they all have had summer jobs. Nichole will start College in the Autumn, about 75 miles away. Emma stays at the local High School. They seem to be very happy with their new life - different for sure - but not so much of the general stress that comes with just living between the Zambezi and Limpopo Rivers these days.

My brother Rogan sent me this picture of his new method for doing pastoral visits in rural Colorado. Can you tell that he obviously hates it! We had a lovely catch-up conversation on Skype lastnight for me and lunchtime for him. They seem to be settling in well to their new home of Southfork, Colorado. 8000 feet up, and loads of the white stuff as you can clearly see.

From what I hear, their are more of these than human beings in Rogan's church!
Think of all the biltong possibilities...
