so i thought i would take a moment to commemorate a good hoop that went astray- well actually i threw it off of the sixth floor balcony here into a stand of trees. it wasn't the best hoop in the world, or even a very good one, but it did make me happy for the few days after i made it. RIP, orange hoop. *tear*.
p.s. all is well here, mike and i are trying to get the project questions defined and ready before our planned excursion to a rural village at the end of the month. we also bought some fabric at the market on saturday which we want to go get outfits made out of. it is sunny and gorgeous and getting a bit hot here. my french still sucks. but we've made some really great friends with these french psychologists who are studying at the hospital where we are doing interviews. so i'm hoping that hanging out with them will help me get on track- although i can communicate basic ideas now, which is good. yesterday we spent the day with them at what we thought was going to be a Ndeup Ceremony, a traditional mental health ceremony here, but was actually a more general offering and ceremony for the ancestors of the village and not any specific person. i'll post some pics and give more details soon- definitely my first time to see bulls sacrificed. RIP, bulls.

thanks mom, but actually, the hoop story has a happy ending. mike realized how much i missed dancing with the hoop and climbed the wall into the stand of thorny trees to get it for me- definite brownie points for that one. anwyay, now i just have to figure out how to make it heavier to do tricks with it! the connectors would have to be super small, i'll let you know about the connectors if i find any better hoop material, thanks though :) i think i'll go use my mediocre hoop before the sun sets...
