... a nativity triptych, a couple dolls, a goat-hair camel, elephants carved from palm wood, a giraffe-necked zebra bowl, soapstone trinket boxes, a scary mask beer opener, and rungu sticks, also known as lion-bashers, also known as dangerous weapons stored on an upper shelf in my closet so that they do not become brother-bashers.The airport. Note the baggage cart.
My husband posing with the artist who carved the elephants and rungu sticks. These are certifiably hand-carved, unlike the soapstone boxes, which came from the duty-free shop at the international airport (not the one pictured above.)
A baobab tree. Perhaps if you squint you can see a little prince.
Or you might see these millipedes.
A favorite hang-out on the base
The Rat Trap is also a favorite hang-out for the vervet monkeys, which like the Skittles. As you can see, it is easy to identify male vervets.
The RC church. My husband also took a video of the entrance song to show me the difference between this African choir and the way the Notre Dame folk choir sang "Jina la Bwana," the
Magnificat in Swahili, but I can't upload it easily.

My favorite photo is of the altar table with the crucifix and that blue color behind. I wonder what I would ask for, if someone were going to bring me a gift from Africa....
I love the turquoise chapel, too! In the video it seems an even more vivid hue, really making the roses stand out.
The kids were disappointed that dear old dad didn't bring home a vervet to add to our menagerie.
