Happy Birthday...let's go get some FIREWOOD!


(This one's for you, Dad!)
I spent my birthday with my Kalacha family and felt right at home watching the sunset over mountains in Africa. *sigh*



My birthday sunset in the Chalbi Desert. *sigh*


The following day...




Getting FIREWOOD with friends. (Robe w/panga) The whole process took about 4 hours.



My first FIREWOOD adventure! It's so BEAUTIFUL in Kalacha!



Look carefully--Dub is up in a tree cutting down branches for us to gather!



Dub came out of the tree to help me carry some sticks!



I'm trying to smooth down the branches b/c they are loaded with 2-inch long thorns. EEK!



Load her up!








I'm 28 and feeling like a SUPERWOMAN!!




Robe, Charmyn, and me. Being Gabra is fun!
