Home visit

A couple of weekends ago I went on a village overnight with Lydia, one of the summer interns. We went to the home of Jennipher, who is in her second year at Christ School. Here are a few pictures of our time their.

This is one of Jennipher's many cousins. He was very shy at first, but then finally warmed up to us.

One of Jennipher's cousins is cutting up a Jackfruit. It is a very sweet, leathery fruit. It tastes pretty good but the gruit itself does not smell very nice once it has been cut open.

Here is Lydia and Jennipher enjoying some Jackfruit.

While we were there we learned how to make Sombe. In this picture I am pounding the leaves.

Here is what it looks like once the leaves are all pounded. It doesn't look like it will be very appitizing, but let me tell you, it is. Sombe is one of my favorite local dishes.
