Liberia October 4

OK, couple of notes.
Nik got a jigger in his toe. A painful surgery with a sharpened stick (unapproved by me) followed. Hopefully all the antibiotic stuff I put on after will save the situation. A few tears, but all the love and laughter around him helped.
Nik has joined a local club of three, they are called the Veggie Boys, poking fun at my vegetarianism. They have a dance and a handshake.
The moon is waxing, at night the sand shines brightly all around the house and the palm trees frame the stars burning above.
Nik and some some local boys have invented a new game, a combination of football and soccer. You throw a football as hard as you can at the goal, which is being guarded by your opponent.
A few days ago, a young boy shimmied up a 60 foot coconut palm and threw coconuts at our feet. Tasty.
Boogie boarding in the surf on the weekends.
Starting to offer a public yoga class on Sundays.
Saw a monkey tied to a tree. It did flips and posed for the camera.
Stories from one of the Fellows about his father being shot during the civil war.
Kundalini Yoga and Meditation is being very well received here amongst the Fellows.
The puppies are growing, but still with eyes and ears closed. Bingo is an attentive and sweet mother.
Lots more I'm sure, but it's all piling up and going the way of the past.
see new photos at the link.
love,
Rachel
