Jayne Thorpe Update
Some claim Nigeria beat Jayne, others say the mosquitos were just too persistent, either way the fact remains Jayne Thorpe had to be admitted to the local hospital. After a week's battle with Malaria the pain and headaches never ceased. So for 3 days and 2 nights Jayne was under observation at the Reddington Hospital.

Golfing in Lagos: some good shots and better shocks
Over the past 12 months I've been fortunate enough to play some of the best golf courses in the world ranging from St. Andrews to Muirfield, Carnoustie to Turnberry, and I don't want to forget Royal St. George's and Sunningdale. In my life I've played well over 1,000 rounds totaling more than 18,000 holes (I should mention I still don't have a hole-in-one). That being said, this weekend I had one of the funniest experiences happen to me on the course in Lagos.

Malaria hits our team. What about the others?
This weekend Jayne came down with Malaria. She wasn't feeling too well on Friday and Saturday so she went to the clinic and sure enough it was Malaria. Everything is fine but the medicine is taking a toll. We'll keep you updated as time moves on.

Week 4: Kelly's last week in Nigeria
So this will be my last post from Nigeria. Tomorrow (Tuesday the 1st of August) I fly out of Lagos, touch down in London for 24 hours and then head to California. I am looking forward to spending some time with my family, but am so sad to be leaving Mike. At the same time, I cannot imagine being here much longer. When you are not working, there really isn't much for a gal to do!

Weekend 3: The Beach!
This last week was filled with some ups and downs. As with anything when you are working hard and abroad, the middle weeks can be the toughest. The long hours start to get to you, you miss the food you are used to and the adventurous spirit that brought you where you are isn't quite as amped as before. For the most part, Nigeria has been wonderful. The people are kind and welcoming (except during traffic, but, hey, same as LA right? Traffic can make the nicest person an animal.)
