More pics from S-town

This is our little sister... whose name is about 18 letters long, so neither of us can ever remember it. Anyway, she is evil. She chases chickens with a stick, runs around with a machete, fans fires while butt-naked, and while all the other children are yelled at all day long she remains daddy's fav.

This is our sanankoroba group... our pct family, our homestay people, and our LCFs (language-cultural facilitators).

Tim says: this is an example of one of the crazy guys driving in bamako... where does he have room to put the tires? i know! Around his waist! we have also seen people do tthis with goats, but we will leave that to your imagination.

Me screwing with Musa, the kick ass lang prof. He now says 'coolness' and 'lame' all the time! woo hoo! but seriously, he knows i could totally kill him if i wanted to.

This is kyle and i... we call him fadibe.. his local name. he looks like a killer and this is the photo that proves it. that's right kyle! you serial killer you!

my host family and i... some people are missing (hello, where is tim?), but this is the bunch that we chill with on a regular basis.


This is the chef himself and tim and i. he is totally cool and patient and amazing. i owe a lot of my mad bambara skills to him and the rest to our amazing lang profs.
