We arrived, one day plus some hours late! Given that
timing, we went directly to the village, and had a kind
of combined short church service / welcoming ceremony.
We brought in the computers and printers (they seemed
to insist) and they presented us with some cloth, from
which they will fashion each of us a shirt once they
measure us.
They offered us a gracious dinner (rice and noodles
with a spicy sauce, some chicked stewed in the sauce,
and a hard boild egg each) and simple drinks. (We
each had a beer.) The chief had been away, but by the
time we were ready to go, he was back, so we were
briefly welcomed by him and then came back to the hotel.
We're pretty tired and over-whelmed, so I'll need to
fill in the blanks later. But so far, it's good!
Peace -- Eliot
