Sorry for the delay in the blogging, folks. You can blame all the new Trainees who are in town and occupying all my time:) I really do like them though, don't get me wrong...
These were from when we went camping at Angra, a little cove a few minutes from Ribeira da Barca. The guy rowing is Tcheka's nephew (Tcheka is the internationally famous Cape Verdean musician that apparently I am supposed to marry someday.)
After camping, we went hiking up to get some mango. This is a man who owns the mango tree and is picking the mangos, putting them in a bucket, which he lowers to his friend through a pulley system. Cool.
Cinza came to the beach with me and the girls one day. She fared quite well. Stuck to the shade a lot, but I think she could definitely be a beach kitty.
We had a superhero costume party for Tina and Jonah's goodbye party. Upon Paige's suggestion, I went as FlavaCourt, my own spinoff of FlavaFlav. Superpower: always able to tell the time in any situation. Weakness: water--very difficult to tell time under water.
The maes of the Center got all dressed up for the girls' first communion and had me do a mini photo shoot (as always). This is all four of them.
Patricia. She's adorable. She chose to pose like this, and I thought the pic turned out pretty great:)
This is the first communion party when a bunch of the girls made their first communion in the Catholic church.
More first communion fun.
And a little more.
And yes...a little more.
This is when we gave out the soccer ball donations that a colleague of my mother's sent to Cape Verde. They looooved them.
The girls got baptized in the Catholic church the day before their first communion. This wast that day.
This is just to update on some photos, so here goes:

Rest assured that I am ridiculously busy, a little stressed, and trying to destress myself by watching Grey's Anatomy season 3. It is good.
