MOOO!

So Moo-Moos are pretty popular here! I finally gave in and bought one. Do you think I can get away with bringing this style back to the States?

Guest Room

So we're still working on this room a little. The best part of this room you can't even see - it's the Air Conditioner! Behind our fantastic little curtain is our storage area! Very African of us! Just send an email to make your reservations!

Living Room

Complete with Christmas Tree!

Kitchen

Third shelf is mine. And the pot on the stove is our hot warter heater!

Double sink!

Gotta love the spice rack!

The bat cave.

So this is where most of the batty action takes place. We don't have to walk down this hallway very often, so as long as it stays here, we don't have many problems.

Bathroom Break

Yes, this is our hut bathroom, or the nyagen if you prefer.

From left to right you see the sink, the toilet paper holder (blue bucket), and the shower (John Deere bucket!)

Village Days

A favorite meal of our village! It's probably mine, too. At least I know what this food is!

The first day we met this little girl I was wearing a rubber band on my wrist, and she asked what it was, and she repeated "rubber band" in the cutest voice! Now she thinks rubber band is our word for bracelet. Now when she sees us she randomly calls out "rubber band!"

Jessica and I after making "gatos." Our friend makes them and sells them. They taste a lot like funnel cakes, so we really like them. We got our friend to help us make them one day. Then we took them around town and gave them to all our friends. They were all excited we had at least tried to make their food!

I fanny noonay.

(I fan the fire)

Mutliple times a day!

Baby Naming Ceremony

This was taken after our first baby naming ceremony. We're not exactly sure what this mark means, but when you're in a room full of influential women, have had about 3 weeks of language study, and they all want you to wear it, what do you do? So after we left, it was obvious to everyone we met that we had been to the ceremony. I can't count how many times we were asked, "So what did they name the baby?" When a baby is born they call it "weesee-weesee." Then on the 8th day, they officially name the baby, eat, and celebrate all day.
