While in the market we purchased several pagnes (colorful cotton cloth, 2'X3') and took them to a tailor in Korhogo. He had a gentle spirit and was very attentive and happy to oblige our requests. I think it cost less than $5 US. The tailor is in the middle of the photo with the blue shirt. Luke is in the foreground, L, with his hunter's hat. Robin is on the tailor's R, and Jane is to his L. Amanda, one of the nursing students, is in the background. He worked outside under a nice arbor of vines. Very pleasant workplace.













Sunrise in Zanapokaha. Soro Suzanne, Guel's oldest daughter is sitting in the archway. Soro Christine is behind Suzanne. Luke is on the porch with his arms folded. A chicken, at the base of the ramp, is foraging in the courtyard. There is a mango tree in the foreground, upper L; they are widespread in Cote d'Ivoire, though introduced from India. They provide delicious fruit and perrenial, much needed shade.

















Breakfast in the courtyard. The common manner to eat among the Senefo is to have a large bowl of rice. Using only the right hand (always!) the rice is formed in a ball, and if there is a sauce, the ball of rice is dipped into it. Soro Honore (green shirt) and his younger brother Soro Alain are eating rice that was cooked the night before in a large pot on an open fire. No refrigeration. Suzanne is behind Honore pulling leaves off a stem. The leaves will be cooked into a sauce for our dinner later in the day. On the other side of the wall (in the background) is a pig sty.














Not even a minute later after Honore and Alain finished breakfast the cleanup crew arrived. Chickens first...













... then the Guinea hens followed up. There aren't many dogs around to lick the pot, though!
