Adventures awhile ago

I arrived safely yesterday after a couple of hours in flight.
Then it was an hour ride in a taxi, along lovely fields and orchards, including one small marigold patch. Many of the houses were very colorful. There were a lot of mango trees in bloom.
A family picked me up, and I soon was hearing jokes and Odyssey quotes from the boys of the family, R and M.
I was very tired upon arrival and rather collapsed.
Today began with the sight of a magpie type bird with brown wings, and a couple of what someone last time I was here
a tasty breakfast of spiced porridge.
Then studies in the morning.
Adventures in the afternoon.
We explored an actual jungle path, some parts "looking like Narnia" covered in what looked like possibly milkweed down.
We saw what looked like a small brown bald eagle.
We went on an imaginary voyage among the stars.
We saw the "AC" hut, really Adansi, made out of bamboo, with even a bamboo light fixture inside. As one of my young friends, R, said, "It is too bad it is locked"
