i went to church sunday wearing one of my beninese outfits. one of my students chose the fabric, and another chose the style of dress. this type of outfit is called a “modelle” which basically means it’s fitted instead of a loose pagne. and boy, do i mean fitted! to get on the back of a moto, you have to pull the tightest part of your skirt up over your hips… necessitating some kind of shimmy-shake in the middle of the street. ridiculous. but fun nonetheless!and yay! now you can look at the picture sideways!! gotta keep things interesting...

It's disorienting sideways, but it definitely does look good.
How you've managed to spend however many months a few hundred miles from the equator and not get a tan is beyond me.
chris, i thought i saw you last night, but it was the larium. stupid anti-malarials!
eric... i AM tan! kinda. the pic is deceiving. but i'm currently with my friends from home, and they say i'm tan!
