This is Mom 3 and her husband. We ate a breakfast with her that was very good. It was more like a lunch because of the variety of food and the amount of food. Her husband has had a stroke and his left side is damaged. So he rides this bicycle with a cart on the back to and from his work on the farm. He hooks up the dog to the bike and the dog actually pulls him and his bicycle because he cannot use his left leg. It was very ingenius.
This is a close up of Mom 3. She was such a nice and sweel lady.
This is the river near Parkson's village.
This is Mom 2, her husband, two daughters and a young son. Parkson was asked to be her son after she had the two daughters.
I do not know their names, because I can't understand when they say their names anyway. We are on the river path.
This is Mom 2 at Parkson's home. She is holding a baby quilt that Mom 1 made. It is quilted, not tied. I was so excited to see the quilt and the batting that I told her we made baby quilts like that too. I wanted her to hold the quilt for my picture, but Mom 1 gave the quilt to Mom 2 and ran in the house. She does not like to have her picture taken.
Us and the neighborhood children. They were very happy and liked playing with us.
Dad testing the children on their English. He would point to something and ask them to tell him the English word. It provided entertainment for the kids for about an hour.
More questions, such as, "what is this called" while he was pointing to her thumb.
This is the game the children taught us. We jumped in squares on the sidewalk, much like hopscotch. The challenge was we had a bean bag type ball between our feet that we had to throw with our feet to get to the next square. Both Dad and I mastered it!!!! Look at the children laughing at us.
We taught them ring around the rosies. I love looking at their faces. The camera captured how much fun we were having.
More ring around the rosies. We played the game that the last one down had to sit in the circle, so they are really stretching their arms on this one.
The last round -- notice the neighbors watching. Dad also gave all of the children a penny. They loved it.
Next, we played London Bridges Falling Down.
After they were caught, they had to hold on to the waist of the person in front of them starting with us, so our line got longer and longer. The little girl in the center is Parkson's niece. He tutors her and a nephew in their English. They do quite well.
More London Bridges.
Another view of the neighbors down the street watching us play with the children.
This is just before we got on the bus in the evening to return to our apartment. This was the first night that this restaurant was open. They told Parkson that they wanted to feed us free before we left. The called it a roast. It was mutton or beef on a skewer and seasoned with spices -- mostly hot. They grilled a special batch that was "not hot" for us foreigners. The lady in red is the mayor's wife. We had met her earlier in the day.
