The dance crew

Across the street from Mercy Ships clinic the government sponsors a cultural area. The people there dance and play music, so when the government has events they call on these people to provide the local entertainment. Today they are practicing, and I can currently hear them in the background. The music is amazing...pretty much just drums and a marimba. The dancers are also amazing...

So I was standing outside their compound listening, and they invited me in to watch, so I was watching, and then I asked to take a picture. "I must ask the boss" he says, and dissapears. That's fine, so I just stand and watch and enjoy. He comes back and says it is fine for me to take pictures. They come over with a cup they won in a soccer tournament, and ask me to add to the donations, so I put in 1000leones (about 35cents).

I take a few pics, then someone comes and says I must stop or the boss will be angry...who knows why they said I could in the first place then. So I put away the camera, and I left soon after...although one man tried to get a phone number from me first.

Anyways, here's one of the few pics I was able to get...
