8th Grade Graduation

December 1, 2011

1 December, 2011  (Maggie) Note to self: When you live on the equator, babies get sunburned even in the shade. We went to a graduation ceremony today and poor Bailey came back looking like a lobster. We had to drive about 27 Km to get there, so it wasn’t far, but the road was so […]

Today, I got lost in the jungle.

November 8, 2011

(from Monday, October 31) I hiked alone from our house, out through the gate that surrounds the center, accompanied only by my newly acquired bush knife and bilum.  The sun was shining and the clouds disappearing.  I knew it was going to be hot. I followed an old road that is now only a path […]
