More First Impressions

My last blog post was an exchange with Victoria of Words on My Mind about our arrival in Libya. There's another arrival story by Old Momma, who is an American who lived in Tajoura for a while in 2006 and has recently returned. Her first impressions in 2006 are here: First Impressions. You can read her renewed first impressions from September 2012 on her blog: Trip of a Lifetime. I really enjoyed reading her stories... I hope she finds Libya an easier place to live this time around.

    Thanks for sharing. Really enjoyed reading about this sister's lifes experiences. I too pray she has a better experience this time round Inshaallah. I haven't forgotten about writing about my arrival here. Have been too lazy to dust off the laptop! Will get round to it soon Inshaallah.
