We met this young mother and her friend with their babies in town. With photos printed and framed as gifts, I tracked down the family some months later ...
Now after half a dozen trips to the area and a number of visits, grandma insists I come for lunch with the family ... (below, left)
The family is wonderful, well connected and gracious. I'm instructed by their thoughtful hospitality; when asked if I had tasted and liked the local palm wine, I indicated that it was good. They sent one of the children to buy some for me.
They relate well across generational lines and, as an associate remarked, "the kids are definitely not shy!"
The slide shows are just a few of the many of pictures they graciously allowed me to take. I'll print them all, nearly 500 for this trip, and deliver them in October '09.
