Measured for New Outfits

Here are the photos of our measuring, my taylor, the iron, venders, a dead critter. Our shopping at the local "supermarket" for the week 38,000.00 Naira. Some familiar brands surprised me.

Where we eat and sleep

Here's where we sleep and eat. Gus gave up his room for the month we are here...we paid extra for that in the form of a new basketball, Kraft Velvetta Cheese & Shells, and his favorite pop tarts.

Finding the Switch

Thankfully John was able to find the release on this new chop saw. The other guys were still looking!

Fabric Shopping Formal Head Dress Making

Today we went shopping for fabric for more Nigerian outfits. Eileen found a beautiful piece I found two one white and one blue. Tomorrow we go to Gidan Bege to be measured and have our outfits built. The head dress is crafted from a single piece of beautiful paper made just for the purpose. These head dresses are traditionally worn to very special occasions like weddings. The creation took about ten minutes to make.

Eileen and I prepared supper for John's family while Corrie was coaching track at Hillcrest School where Sarah, Gus and Sami go to school. Chicken, Noodles and gravy with fresh green beans.
