| A crowed gathered to welcome us when we arrived at the airstrip |
New friends helped carry our stuff 900 feet up the mountain |
Our new home - Umbaku village |
Our new village family were incredibly kind and generous to us |
They have given us this very nice village house to use |
Our living room / kitchen / radio room |
| Crowds always gathered to see Anna |
Everyone wanted to meet her and hold her |
She handled all the attention with her typical calm demeanor |
She was just as popular with kids as with adults |
Anna's future playmates - Not the pigs :-) |
We began building
relationships and learning the language |
| People enjoyed teaching us their language and culture |
A big job was to set up the solar panel to run the radio |
Anna loved the extra time with Daddy that
village life provided |
Of course there was time with Mommy, too |
Taro gardens are a major source of food for the Wantoat people |
Ready to hike back down the mountain to meet our plane |
