Pictures of the day

Here are Ridge and Holt with some of thier new friends. We have only managed to learn the name of one of the boys - Ruya (but pronounced "Duya"). He is the one wearing glasses. Ridge looks very serious because he is showing me his grasshopper, or "bata", as Ruya told us. Holt is enjoying some bubble blowing with his number -one fan and Ruya's little sister, who is only one year old. The photo of the street is taken from our driveway. The larger building on the right is the village administration building. All village government offices are located here, as well as my desk, to be used for all my prep work. In the second picture, Holt is playing with the two boys from across the street. Hanging out our front window has become a favorite pastime, and the local children know now to come look through the window if they want to play.
