I took this photo at the Goroka Festival, which we attended this past weekend. The color and design and weirdness is a tiny taste of what this event was like — unlike any I’ve ever had anywhere. I’d like to share some of my photos and what I learned and heard and felt, but the Internet is terrible in the highlands, and we suspect it will get worse Wednesday, when we fly up to the Sepik River region. 

So I plan to work on that post and pick out some of my favorite pictures and publish it after we fly to the land of lightning-fast internet (i.e. Japan) September 30. Between now and then, I’ll see if I can squeak out another shorter, less resource-intensive post or two. We’ve been seeing strange and wonderful things every day.
