Boys & Girls

Some of the first local folks we met on Thursday were our next door neighbors. This gang of kids (we never saw any adults) all congregated at this big green house. Everyday the girls would do the laundry in a stream while the boys played volleyball (a great system). They didn't speak a bit of English but were very friendly anyway. One of the little girls there was so sweet that she gave me a gift, which was some sort of gourd decoratively carved out with the image of a toucan.

The one in the blue shirt is named Barni, he was very polite and introduced himself over and over again.
