Village Wedding

So I survived the village wedding. It was REALLY COLD though. I think it was somewhere around 20 degrees in my room every night. So it feels good to be living back in the valley again. It has actually been really nice here since I've been back. It gets pretty cold here at night, but for living at about 7,500 feet at the beginning of January, it really isn't too bad. Life out in the village was actually a lot more fun than it usually is. Normally in the village I catch up on a lot of reading and usually just sit around, which is all that is left to do if you don't smoke, drink, or gamble. There is actually a lot going on in villages during planting or harvest season, but otherwise, just a lot of sitting. The wedding was fun because there was a lot going on by village standards and we had a friend with us who could speak some English. The first day we were there they killed three pigs, so that provided a few hours of entertainment. Other than that we pretty much sat around by the fire, took pictures and shot video. I'm actually going to post a video a week. The link to this last weeks is here. Act fast though because I'm probably not going to leave them up too long. And heads up on this one, it is the pig killing. So if you're partial to bacon you might want to skip out until next weeks. For the rest of break things are a little up in the air. The game plan is that I'm going to live out in the villages some so I can work on language, go on a little vacation, and then start up some ag projects. I'll make sure and post more details when I have them, the problem is that a lot of things are still up in the air. Hopefully it'll come together soon so I can get the village thing knocked out before I head out of country and then I can focus on growing coffee once I get back.
