I tried to send you an email yesterday but it didn't work. I think pictures are just a little too much data for the strained connections over here to transfer so we'll try this. I have sort of figured out spots where I can get free wireless internet access (is this honest??) on my little laptop (boy am I ever glad I brought this thing - I've used it tons already).
I was looking at all your blogs yesterday as I hadn't been able to before given the time limitations on me at the internet cafes and a few of the kids that live around the guesthouse where I'm staying got very intrigued. They were totally in awe of the pictures of Enoch wearing so many clothes to go outside. They never have to do that here. I took a picture of them to send to "all the children in Canada and the US" and I told them I'd tell them what you all thought. So we'll see if this works. The three boys are named Titus (tall one in the middle), Edd (one on the right) and Calvin (cute little guy in the crazy sunglasses on the left).
They were actually out "hunting" the monkeys that live around the trees nearby. They have a dog named "Police" - who looks like your standard developing country mutt - but well taken care of. Police chases the monkeys around and around and barks like crazy but they just tease him mercilessly and never let him get too close. I'm not sure what the boys would do if they caught a monkey - they say that some people eat them (yuck!) but THEY don't. Anyway, I am also sending some pictures of the monkeys - one on top of the roof, right above my window!!
