Happy New Year

So here's a few recent pics.

I see little goats like this on my run and on the way to Rubona, a small town about a mile away from the village.  I think they are cute, but they are not pets, they are dinner.


This small mosque is about a fifteen minute walk from the village towards Rubona.  The population here is largely Christian (Catholic and Protestant, but there are a few muslims. )
I see signs like this on my run and on my walk to Rubona. Probably (nearly) the only good use my taxes have ever been put to.

The much touted Akabanga, for Akabanga Saturday of course, with an egg fresh from the farm here for size reference.  Do not mistake Akabanga for eyedrops.  You will regret it.

Here's the girls from family 8 (most of them) up at the Liquidnet Family High School. They are amazing girls and I am having so much fun getting to know them.

For New Year's Eve there was a major celebration at the dining hall with Traditional Dance performances, Modern Dance performances, songs and speeches.  Here's some girls performing Traditional Dance:

I'll try to get in some of these at some point as I know photos of strangers will only get me so far.  Good luck with 2013.
