Longyis

These shots are of us in the traditional dress of our region. These "skirts" are actually huge tubes of fabric that can be folded over and tucked (or tied for males, as Chad has done) to be worn in our hot climate. Chad and I both actually found them very comfortable and cool...a must for a tropical climate. We have also been told that they are VERY convenient for squatty potty users. The lady in the picture with me, Kim, will be serving in the country next door to us...the longyis belong to her and her family. They have been to the region before and have been so sweet to share insights with us!
