More pics

Ok, so this is the sign going into my villiage. Good one to start with but the rest are in no particular order







this is my new house in Laya. Painted the Peace Corps logo on it. I will show you the inside later







This is my cat protecting the house. You can see her little cat door. If that one day becomes a snake door, that cat better walk the walk.





This is a shot of the inside of my house. I painted the Sun on the wall to liven it up a bit. I ave added some masks and stuff since this picture. when I get a chance I will update.






This is one view from outside my new hut... look! more huts!








This is are market on Wednesdays. The tree is massive, and a great backdrop for walking around the market







Here are a couple of fun artsy pics from outside my hut in the moonlight. This is my roof...







And this is a Mango tree in my backyard









Here is a little path outside of my Homologues house. He is who I work with.






This is my favorite tree just outside my villiage. In real life it isn't on its side like it is in the picture :-P ... sorry, I am lazy.





Here is a present from a friend for my B-Day. Awesome hat, right!?!






Here is my pride and joy Jembe drum,. Costed a hell of a lot of money, but it's worth every penny. I don't know how this gets back to the US, but I will make it work.






Speaking of Jembe drums, here are the kids I want to play it with. I also hope to get some lessons from the older players in the villiage.






Cute kid that doesn't look very sick going to my homologue (i the background) for care right at his house.







Here is my best friend, BahFodi, in the villiage that doesn't like me taking pictures, and the sierra leonean, Abdullai, that refuses to speak anything but English to me.





Bad ass cop in our villiage. Actually he is really funny and nice, and not even a real cop. The villiage has a group that act as enforcement, but they aren't exactly official. They like to wear military gear though



Foosball table... oh yeah. And Bonne Chance means goodluck in French







This is an excerpt frmo my Malinke Study guide. That is the local language here. I love this book. Filled with useful information...



As I said earlier, This is that car that broke down... grrrr
