We had a stool like that when I was growing up. It was yellow.
I recall reading about Jim Elliot, one of the young missionaries who was killed on first contact. His widow, Elisabeth, also was a missionary.Afif had 5 friends he invited for dinner tonight. He’s going to make something special with Bernaise sauce on it. I will eat just about anything if it’s covered in Bernaise!!!
He showed us his pictures from his last trip to the Amazon area of Ecuador, where he stayed with the Waodonni Indians. They are the tribe that was made famous in the true story “End of the Spear”movie. I HIGHLY recommend the movie, which was produced by the son of one of the missionaries these people speared to death, but later became family to the wives and children of those missionaries. It’s an incredible story.
The people remain very primitive, women wearing skirts woven out of palm fronds, and topless, the men with even less, using poisoned darts to spear their food, eating grubs, and living in crude shelters in probably one of the most beautiful and eco-diverse areas on the planet. His stories were so neat to hear. He is a very well traveled, multi talented, entertaining guy. He also travelled to Africa and stayed with the Massei. I was tired and a little muddle headed so I missed what country and how he connected Africa with Ecuador. He has started a business called Tribal Tours where he takes people up the Amazon and meets these people of whom some were previously head hunters and cannibalistic but are friendly, gracious, accepting and generous with him and the guy with him. It’s incredible the way these people still live.
The women paint a red stripe across their eyes to show honor to him and there was a little doodle type village dog and they put a stripe across the dog’s eyes too
Smart lady!I’m going to ask him about toxic mold while Randy is around.
