Together again...our contingent meeting and medal parade

The six of us that started out from Ottawa in May gathered in Juba this weekend to have a contingent meeting and recieve our UN medals. First time we've all been in one room since we left Khartoum on June 12th (and the last time we will be together in Sudan as Scott heads home at the end of his mission on Nov. 18th. We all agreed its been a good experience, much different than what we were expecting after predeployment training in Ottawa. So enyways we ate dinner by the banks of the Nile again, swore we're not going to drink so much again, promised that we'll keep in touch when we get back to Canada again etc. Actually Scott has invited us to his wedding in Calgary next June, maybe we'll get together there. But that is for the return to Canada, more important things to think about now, like holidays in Egypt; Rory, Scott, Jas, Bill Kelly and I are heading there today for a little R&R.
