1st Day of Work

We started off the day with a pancake type thing, banana, and toast. We had a brief morning discussion and then headed off to work. After the long morning of work, we met at the meeting/lunch table for both a meeting and lunch. :) Everyone shared their stories of their work while we ate a tortilla thingy, noodles, meat, and sauce. Mangos were our dessert. (Note to self: Those were the best mangos I have ever had!) Once everyone was done, we chilled outside till we heard the bell ring. [ed. note  We were invited to go to the cemetery for the interment after a funeral.] While some walked one way, others walked a little too far.:) Once there, women and men were separated, and sat on the cement around the graves. While the sun beated down, and our appreciation for every cloud and breeze, we watched and listened to the beautiful melodies of voices. When the service was done we strolled on back to the Mission House. Unless you wanted some "juice or cola" then you went to the pub.  Everyone did their own thing until about 6:25ish. Then a lot of us grabbed a cup of joe and sat by the fire. Chit-chattin like usual! Later we had dinner of rice, beans, greens, citrus fruit, and some fishy soup stuff. We shared stories and had heated conversations like usual. Then off to bed. Which is somewhere around 10, because it's African time.
