Looking for good in Lagos

I'm a empty-nester mom of 3 and wife to an oil-company executive who is working on a project in Lagos, Nigeria. All many people hear about Lagos is bad stuff -- I'm here looking for the good in Lagos.

About Me

My photo
Carolee
I'm a wife to an oil-company executive and a mother to 3 wonderful grown children. I have three cute granddaughters and four wonderful grandsons. My life in Houston has been busy with professional piano accompanying, singing in the Houston Symphony Chorus, working as a docent at the Museum of Fine Arts, substitute teaching, playing on a tennis team, book club, scripture group. Part of me hates to give up these rewarding activities to move to Nigeria, where my life will be much less comfortable. But the other part of me is ready for a big adventure -- and I know life there would provide that!
