We finally got a package that Justin's parents sent to us on January 4th. It looked like it had been through a really rough time. We were really thankful that it got here though. The other one that they sent at the exact same time is still pending. That's East Asian parcel delivery for you.

There was an "orienteering" race that ended in the old town. It's like a combination of running and finding waypoints. This is a shot of the finish line.

The Grandfather of the house wanted me to dress up. He told me that he goes monkey hunting with this rifle. I think that I look like Davy Crocket.

These are the Grandmother and Grandfather of the household. They told us that we are the first white people that they have ever met.

They wanted to see Crystal dressed up in traditional clothes.

These are traditional outfits. The different head dresses have signifigance. The woman on the right is married and the woman on the left is single.

We tried snails at a restaurant. They pretty much taste like calamari, just chewy and bland. These, however had lots of spices on 'em.

Crystal is enjoying some sorgum.

You can buy sorgum to chew on.

Wish we had one of these in our city.

This hotel bellman was too preoccupied with building a snowman to worry about the customers.

These women usually clean the streets, but they were making a snowman today.

Everyone is enjoying the snow. This is a bank security guard and a customer making a snowman.
