beverly's back, II

2 days in the bamb(oo!) 4.gifest now \ we were not quite guests, not quite resi.dent.s \ eye8.gif helped c(oo!)k \ big outdoor cafe.teria under canvas r(oo!)f \ community about 75 people altogether \ eye8.gif learned several dishes I want to share with you guise at some soon l.it.erary lunch \ they watched us but sh.ow.ed us no.thing, until

un.til one particular bedtime 1 helpful fell.ow, the 1 who showed us our beds the 1st night, answered the musicnote2.gif of his mobile phone \ and took us for a long midnight walk through nighttime jungle \ almost (toe)tal (stubbing) darkness \ surprise bugs and leafs in our faces \ stepping onto log(lla)bridges and into puddles

came 2 a very country v.ill.age \ sick grandma sur.round.ed in mayor's hut by family & wh.o.le village \ our young guide pulls out his mo.bile ph.one \ fo.cuses grandma on the little pictureph.one screen \ musical language from the little ph.one \ a spinglobe.gif of calm and bliss on grandma's face \ grandma sighs and wr(g)iggles happily in sickbed like youngster \ grandma falls into deep sleep with s.mile
"she'll be fine" \ says our guide as we head back into 4.gifest \ pink d(awe)n above the can.opy \ long walk back say.ing to (t)each other "Now THAT was weird."
