A shout-out to 'Dra

This next blog entry is dedicated to Audra, our ridicously cute, hard-working little sis! Cameron posted a couple new pictures right below the "about us" section. Audra grills us about every picture...and what happened before, during and after the picture was taken....and we love it! So, in the first photo you see our friend Kimmie riding on top of the tro. On our way to our Volunteer Action Committee meeting, we were all riding inside the tro, but we feared for our lives because every bump we hit (which was one about every 5 feet) the roof was about to cave in (with all the cargo and people on top). So on the ride home, we decided not to test fate and rode on the roof (yes, we understand that riding on the roof isn't any smarter, but really, it was the scariest tro ride to date!) The next photo is where we went swimming....which was just AMAZING! The water was gross, but you have to look at the big picture in situations like this....we weren't sweating for about 20 minutes and that was worth the dip in the nasty water. In the village we visited they make the special dyed smocks that are a traditional outfit for the men in the north. Our friend Hannah and I got the hat Cameron calls "the Irish paper-boy hat" and Cameron and Ana got the more traditional Northern Ghanaian men's hat. What do y'all think about the beard.....I LOVE it!!! The next picture is me pounding Fufu (they peal the yam, boil it, then pound the heck out of it until it's a huge ball of Fufu). It's quite a workout!!! The next two pictures are men in the village dying the yarn and worknig at the loom. Then there's me, Cameron and our friend Catherine (we call her our baby sis because I couldn't understand why during training I keep hanging out with her until Cam said....."Kym, you know why you like Cat so much....cause she's exactly like 'Dra....and he's totally right!). The last photo is us having to cross the river by canoe to get to the village where all those photos were taken. So, that's all...we hope you enjoy!!!
