Life in Bangui is exciting, but there really is not a whole lot two young white girls can do in the city for fun so Caitlin and I have to come up with our own entertainment. We read a lot, cook, watch movies, have interesting conversations with visiting American pastors, swim, and hang out with the other missionaries. One of our favorite things to do is to go hiking/walking around the city. The best place to go to is the Ubangui River.
Yesterday we walked down to the Ubangui River and then hiked around to the ambassadors’ neighborhood via a mountain pass. There is a hotel and restaurant on the river where you are allowed to take pictures so here are a few to give you a better idea of what it looks like here.

One side of the river is the Central African Republic and the other side is the Democratic Republic of Congo (the top picture is looking towards CAR and the next two pictures after that are looking towards the the Democratic Republic of Congo).
