This looks like it would have been a blast to be a part of Glenn. I so wished I had been able to make it for this alone. You look ever so dapper in your traditional African clothing. Might I suggest this as a look to pursue once you arrive back home?
ReplyDeleteI can't tell you how much I wish I could have been there Glenn. This looks so fun and like such an incredible experience. By the way Glenn, I think you should consider this look once you come home. You look quite dapper all dressed up this way.
ReplyDeleteI like the kanzus too! very dapper!! i love the colours of the flowers and ladies dresses. Who is Anna?
ReplyDeleteWhat an event to be a part of! I would have loved to be a part of it too! All the dancing and eating and parading around of the dowry animals. so different than our culture. you look like you're fitting in perfectly!
