Guide told us that a member of staff was working at his desk in the office when a small dragon managed to get in and bite him on the ankle. He pulled it off but the beast got him on the wrist and his blood went all over the wall and window when he leapt onto the cupboard. Seems he was e-vacued by speedboat to Labuanbajo then flown to Bali for treatment. Wonder why the bloodstains weren't washed off wall, window and floor????
Finally got to see the Pasola Festival on Sumba. This guy is unloading one of his bamboo spears at the opposition.

Have you ever seen a speed limit sign for a tank? This is on the bridge before the famous gates of Lübeck (yes, we bought Marzipan!). Puja and Herr McVeigh (program director) are glimpsable in this photo...see them?

Transportation takes on a whole other meaning in India. I wish I'd had my camera out for the men pulling carts loaded up with what must have been 2 tons of cooking oil...uphill. Luckily, the traffic jam gave kate the chance to snap this shot of an entire family (two women, two children, and one man) on one scooter. and notice the garlaned Ganesh-ji on the dashboard of the taxi?
...in the streets of Jaipur
FSU! brought the Guerilla Girls to Smith, and they signed this poster for members of the eBoard after dinner!
