Pictures

I think the internet got my message about how much we love it, and want it to work for us. Because I woke up this morning and everything is miraculously working!! I have no idea how long this will last, so I will just put up some pictures and talk about the highlights of our 7 weeks in the bush! Here goes...

This is my friend B. We did a lot of stuff together- here she was teaching me how to fish (I didn't tell her that I was a Southern girl who has been fishing since she could walk). She taught me a lot and made me laugh a lot. She is very funny and now one of my favorite people here in PNG...



Here I am taking a Pidgin test. Looks a lot different than 7 years ago sitting in a college classroom writing essays in a blue book...




This is my friend T. She taught me how to make this sleeping mat. I then bought it just to show people that I made it (ok, so I only did like 3 inches of it, but I did it, ok)...



This is a picture of us with some sweet friends who volunteered to dress up for my friend Lauren's birthday. She came to visit our tribe while they were in bush orientation in another tribe...



This is one of my favorite pictures of all time. Why put your smokes behind your ear when you can put them in your ear...




These last two are a preview to my new website concept. Think along the lines of "people of wal-mart" or "awkward family photos". This one will be called "babies with knives" and anyone who has been to a majority world country (that is the new PC term for third world, just so you know) can submit their pictures of babies with knives. Every. Single. Country. I have been to outside of the Western world, I have seen a baby with a knife. I am sure all my other traveling friends out there will agree. From now on friends, take pictures. Take lots and lots of pictures..

  1. Oh, my! That baby with a knife makes you wonder why we worry so much here in America. How do the people like having their picture taken?

  2. And to think that here in the US, moms are freaked out about dirty shopping cart handles and running with pencils.
