I Can't Imagine Anything Higher Than This
Beaches + Monkeys + Hammocks = Happy Rebecca
and also these cows that like to go on outings to the beach
are cows used in marriage exchanges in lesotho? if so, as brideprice or dowry?
whether or not the previous question is true, have you managed to trace family relationships and networks of obligations using the exchange of cows (or other artifacts for that matter), old-school anthropologist styley?
Pretty pictures... thanks. What's crackin' in Lesotho? Kenya is still cool... I guess I'm on month 19 now, only 5 more to go.
I don't miss home so much, apart from those materialistic things like fast internet and coffee. Other than that, I talk to my family pretty often. I'm actually applying for jobs in Nairobi... we'll see...
Dearest Miss Rebecca Reilly P.O. BOx 120 Thaba-Tseka 550 Lesotho, Southern Africa
(make sure you write Southern Africa, not South Africa, or, surprisingly enough, the letters will be sent to an entirely different country! one named "South Africa")
if you send a package, write "jesus loves you" or something on them to instill the fear of god in customs officials or make the package as unappealing as possible to pillage.
