Not so Wordy

Since coming back from my trip, I haven't really felt very wordy, plus, our internet hasn't really felt so speedy.  Bad combination for blogging.  I kept a bit of a journal while I was in the village and wrote down all sorts of interesting and funny bits and pieces and lots of great little anecdotes to regale you with.  But actually regaling you with them would require a bit of typing, some word-smithing and some quicker internet to upload all the pictures.  And I still haven't even completely unpacked my suitcase.

So.  Maybe it's true that a picture speaks 1000 words.  Here are a few to whet your appetite.

 This was the compound in which we stayed, nestled against the little mountains.

 This is one of the villages a little way up the mountain.  Most folks still stay up the mountain, because it was safer during the war, and also keeps them safer from cattle raiding from their neighbors.

 This was our home sweet home for the week. 

 We wandered around the area and greeted lots of people in the community!

 These ladies were coming from a dance in their, well, interesting head-wear.

 Maurice is standing on his side, overlooking the plains below his village.  STILL couldn't get him to stand up straight, Sean!

And we did train some teachers while we were there.  Here they're practicing some activities to teach learners how to put words together into sentences.
