This if the Chieftain's grandaughter. I believe her name is Ji-ki-mel. She is an absolute doll. She gets around pretty quickly in this fancy little walker. (It's kind of like the base to a papazon chair with a rag tied in it for a sling. She slides on the smooth concrete floor.) Also, like many kids in the third world, she doesn't wear diapers. I was willing to hold her anyway, but she was a little shy. She gave me plenty of smiles from the safety of her walker!

Dinner
I guess I can't really call this dinner with the Chieftain; it was more dinner at the Chieftain's with everyone in the village trying to peek in to get a glimpse of us weird foreigners. I was a little worried about how Chloe would handle this; I warned her just to take a little and eat whatever she got. The dish above was right next to us, as you can see in the picture below, and she gobbled up the fish! I was a little nervous myself, but by the grace of God my stomach didn't even turn once! Ironically, the only thing Chloe turned her nose up at was the yellow tomatoes ;)
