And it all started with a Big Bang....

SO this year´s Christmas and New Year was sponsored by Friends And The Big Bang Theory. It´s on the TV all the time.. helps pass the time very nicely. But then it got a bit too literal.

New Year was spent travelling to Copacabana and being in Lake Titikaka and celebrating the beginning of the year. But i think it would be fair to say health and safety is not their strength seeing as they just lit fireworks in the middle of the street in the centre of the crowd of people with no prior warning. So walking passed a lit firework that shot straight at us was a pretty memorable experience. Had to run away (obviously) only to find that the firework followed us and exploded again so needed to run away yet again to find somewhere safe.

Thankfully the worse that it got was a friend having a small burn but no fingers blown off. Felt very protected and very thankful for Soverign protection! Sure is one way of celebrating New Year.

Shortly after this decided to make cake with a friend but the gas ovens here are tempramental so decided to go off and leak gas so when lighting the oven it was a explosive moment to say the least!  My beloved eyelashes were singed to half length and got a small burn on my wrist but again could have ended up needing hospital treatment but was protected from anything more serious! Made the start of 2014 pretty memorable that´s for sure!

Nothing quite like these things to make you aware of God´s protection! And i have a scar to remember to it all.....
