Merry Christmas, everyone: here are some pictures!

Merry Christmas from Mali!!!!!

Our house, photo one - trying to look as comfy as possible. This room serves as the kitchen, living room, and garage while we are away.
Our house, photo two.
These are the new bars that the Peace Corps placed on all our windows yesterday. Our house looks slightly more like a prison than usual, but it should be ok.
This is the Blendio dugutigi's grandson, Jaktay. He does ever say anything when around us, but he's crafty enough to try to grab the camera and give high-fives.
This is a wedding that passed through our backyard yesterday while men were fixing our house. They pulled Michele into the circle of women to dance.
Michele and her mosquito net from our stay in Sikasso.
