Friends at Friends School

Here's the Dude - in back wearing MN Twins T-Shirt, holding the "Axe" (more about that later).

Tuesday night we attended a "class meeting" at the Dude's school. The meeting was pretty loosely organized. The first half hour involved eating desserts everyone had brought from home while the kids ran around like maniacs. After everyone was sufficiently sugared up, we went into the classroom for a performance of a little play, "The Woodcutter of Gura" a fable from Ethiopia and Eritrea. The Dude played the Woodcutter, hence the Axe - cardboard and duct tape.


In this shot (a zoom would have helped), the townsfolk of Gura are trying to wake the "dead" Woodcutter.
