Eu te amo demais

That's actually Portuguese for "I love you too much." It's a fairly popular song here and I've been meaning to learn it on guitar. All the kids sing all kinds of songs together in the afternoons or at night. One or two guitars and 5 or 6 kids singing their hearts out. Yeah, it's pretty cool.
This entry is titles as it is for other reasons, too. We're starting to feel that way about Timor, really caring about these amazing people, on a personal level. It also means we love our families too much and can't wait to see them (the plane leaves here at 9am tomorrow!).
We got some more pictures developed, so here we go.
This is Mount Kablaki on the clearest day. I took this just down from our house.

We spent a few days recently in Bazertete (west of Dili) and on the way Bekah sat with these cute kids for this picture. They were too moi or embarrassed to do it alone. It's Bekah's favorite picture.

In Bazertete we were lucky enough to be there for a church's inauguration and mass (double meaning there) confirmation. The candidates dressed up in tais, and here above is what it looked like. Beautiful.

Don't let the katuas or old man scare you. Though he bellows like a bear and tries to look cool when we took his picture, he couldn't hold back his black-toothed smile when we put the camera down.
