THE BLACK DZAO, THE HMONG AND I HAVE ARRANGED A PARTY..

There are just so many cool women here and they are all trying to sell stuff, it isn't expensive either, but they do insist, so I have suggested that we all meet tomorrow at seven to eight am in the park and I try to distribute as much as I can buying a little here and a little there. They think it is a good idea, and if the worst comes to the worst I'll buy them all food, they seemed quite happy with that this afternoon. These women are very interesting, they have enough English to converse with humor, they said I could be one of them, they liked my Burma bag and my Indian bracelet, one of them jokingly suggested I should go round the markets with them trying to sell the bag!

I think if I weren't so tall I might, they all have really amazing skin, their faces are smooth and they don't have many wrinkles.I think I might enjoy being a buffalo girl again..

This morning I was able to connect to Sykpe and call Severen, it looked like a cold Melbourne morning. The government has given her a scholarship for books and she is happy at the prospect of the new semester and enjoying having her sister in town. It was great to have a chat...seeing her on the screen was a lovely start to the day..Yeah Zaba! And this one is Bella on the beach..I am so proud of my girls! Well done on your IB results Bella, I am very happy for you that all your work paid off, all that study and stress and of course your efforts at maintaining a balanced life style throughout, well done indeed!

My journey to the Bahamas was incredible, the location is stunning, there's no rubbish on the beach, and while the underwater environment, although clean, seems a little devoid of life it seems the resort does good things to encourage growth and minimize harm..People are friendly, I found out there were original inhabitants but they were taken by the Spanish to be slaves elsewhere and then the British left Africans freed after the abolition of slavery to live in The Bahamas as free men and women. There are words like Goombay and Jankanoo that are Bahamanian and refer to festivals but are also the names of drinks and corn chips...

Tripping Along

After I left LA I flew to Washington and met up with my friend Bekah and together we flew to Orlando, Florida where I spent a great night with her mum and her mum's husband George. We went to the beach, Bekah ran and I sat on the beach with George who was very interesting, and gave me some ideas about direction. Being in the midst of such a dynamic interesting family was fantastic after my LA Alone Time. The next day I went back to Orlando and flew to Nassau in the Bahamas...and entered another dynamic family, the one of Hannah, Jasmine and their mum, Re. The beginning of my Bahamas vacation...the challenge now is to have, to take, to enforce myself into vacation mode..what is that?? I am used to exploring, to seeking out, to engaging with people around me. Fortunately I am here to help Hannah make a documentary on her work so I have been engaging with people and filming their responses to Hannah's performances both in and out of the water and that has been great..the effect of
