We had a great time but pictures were not taken! We swam and played with the kids in the afternoon. Played more games of "Uno", "Go Fish," and "Set" in the evening. Overall...it was a great and sad closing to the jungle.
That night the people of Siagara had a bonfire for us. The bonfire was HUGE! It was also lit in the traditional way. To do this, you rub a small stick (of hard word) on a large branch of soft word. It creates an indent and also creates a lot dust. Eventually it will start to smoke and if you can rub hard enough and fast enough you will finally get one ember. That ember is then put onto some dry bush and blown on until a small fire is created...and that small fire is used to lit the big bonfire.
After our bonfire was lit they performed a garden burning dance for us. It was an awesome dance. The kids also performed some songs and dances too.
