Our second weekend in Pommern was another relaxing one. On Saturday we went to a party for a pastor in the village who has been promoted to manage an entire district. There was lots of wonderful singing, speeches, gifts, and food. Of particular note, many of the gifts were... alive. We counted at least 3 chickens.
Of course, there was more volleyball:
And we had a lot of nice walks around Pommern enjoying the landscape that is really hard to describe. It's vast and not nearly as interrupted by humanity as we're used to.
On Sunday we dressed up in some new African clothes we had purchased materials for and had sewn by the local tailor (a skirt for Shannon a shirt for me). Now we're practically locals!
Finally, the weekend included a lot of good card game with the team. I'm happy to report that I've developed a knack for Skipbo!
