more footage and outcome of experiment

Our experiment failed miserably... Jacob and Kate were so miserable prior to dinner time that I gave in a made them soup and sandwiches for dinner.. Kate learned a lesson(so she says) and surprisingly ate all of her dinner! So now I know how threaten her.

It's getting hot here and you know the weather is changing b/c the lizards are back. They're everywhere. I walked to the Main Mall today and heard more movement in the grass than usual.

Not much to report, so I'll continue to post footage from our great trip.These 2 videos are of 2 different types of bands we saw in Lesotho.. the first is of the Malealea choir, the second is a junk funk band...
Both are great but the characters in the junk funk band take the cake... Instruments were made of throwaway materials, carved wood and garbage cans...
The bands were made up of younger men and women, shepherds,miners, horsemen that come together each night to perform for the guests at the lodge.

I hope you enjoy the videos.... In the junk funk video, check out Jude... 1) he is mesmerized... 2) he tries to dance..... not as good as the SaSotho men..
I'll have more of the kids up tomorrowand the next day. If you want to see the older kids and their pony trek, that is on yesterday's post..
