Everything is fine

Hey, just stopped in the city for a night on my way out for a trek around schools to look at their tree nurseries.  I just thought I'd let you know I'm doing great and I'm glad I'm here (not that I don't miss you all).  I got mail yesterday.  It was really great to hear from people!  I really appreciate it.  Gotta go! Bay fotuley! ('Till later in Jola)

new installation of pictures


This is me and one of my host mothers, Tening, sitting under the mango tree by the house.  Pretty much every day people hang out there in the afternoon.  That's my fence behind us. 



This is me and my host sister in law in the Bintang Bolong.


My bike with a bag of mangoes and a chicken on the back.  I biked on basically a mountain biking path for 30 minutes or so and the chicken kept squaking in protest and slipping down toward the tire.  It was hilarious but only to me.  Everyone around thought it was perfectly normal.

I went visiting friends during the first part of may.  Maggie, Maggie and I had a Cinco de Mango party.  We ate SO many mangoes and chocolate cake too.  Great day!
