A-musing photos......

so......the stories attached to these snap shots really need to be passed on in person.....but most of them are worth at least 300 or so words by themself, if not 1,000.....

a man & his rope......




so, the story behind this photo is about 50,ooo words, but it is entertaining, I swear....and it's the only time I've actually worn a life jacket in the last 20 years.....

a different perspective

so, the holidays have passed through Old Fangak, leaving many stories.

New Year's Day was spent swimming, and the construction of the new clinic is going well.

life is quite interesting in The Sudan, so much so that it is leaving me little time to post any musings.....

so.....the below video is of a Southern Sudanese artist named Duop....the song is a call to the Sudanese refugees around the globe to return to the country and help re-build - he is telling them that there is peace in The Sudan.....from Juba to Malakal to Khartoum, and to come home.....which is a nice sentiment, although the accuracy of it may be debatable....

regardless, the video features quite a bit of footage that does capture the variety of life here, far better than I can provide.....and while the music is certainly no RadioHead, it's better than lil' wayne.....and you know you want that hat.....
