April: Another Visit to a Village


Our friends in a village in Mali.

We ate mangoes and Mommy and Daddy ate them like the Africans do. They cut some up for us to eat. They also gave us lots and lots of mangoes to take and eat at home.

E loves to help our friend Nathan's* wife, Felicity* prepare the meals. They are using a mortar and pestal to pound the ingriedients for the sauce. (Like onions, seasoning, etc.)

It was a hot day because it is hot season now, but we had a lot of fun.
