'Tis the day after Boxing Day here in Gales Point and most things are going back to 'more' normal.  The Village is quiet this morning at 7:32 AM due most likely, to the long night of 'Bharoming' in the village.  This consisted of a long night of drumming and call and response dancing/singing in a tradition African type of manner ...  the villagers went from house to house on Christmas night and last night doing this throughout the whole long village...covering all the territory over the two nights.  Lots of drinking accompanied this ... reminded me of Dragonfest drum circles without the fire and such in one place.

It is overcast today with a slight breeze ... Zane and Jay are preparing to work on the shutters for his house so that they can get that enclosed and them over here sooner.  Zane said it rained last night, but I didn't hear it.

Need to go into Stann Creek in the next day or so to get more coaxial (sp?) cable for the antenna to get this internet connection into the house ... then, the threat of rain won't stop my blogging and emailing and surfing.  Also, we need to pick up the $35 (BZ) 8 lb pork roast that Zane ordered for our traditional new years meal ... I brought along canned (mine) saurkraut for our first  food of the new year (a Felix family tradition) for good luck

I may have more later to write about, but for now, signing off!
