cows, tukuls and more

Back to a computer after a week of travel to Dinkaland. I flew to Juba, the capital of southern sudan, and then took a 6 hour bus ride, which is a story all of it's own, to Bor Town. After arriving in Bor Town we took rest and then head an hour and a half to Bior's village of Kolynang. Up along the river nile in a land where cows are many and people are returning home after twenty years of war. We were welcomed at the Primary school but children running and laughing, so excited to see the return of their brother. Bior's brother Deng slaughtered a cow, this was done 20 feet away from me and a party was held in his honor.
oops computer glitches...gotta go.. check in later...

miss you all and have so much more to share :)
