Animals lately

Here's some cool animals that have been around lately
Hillevi and her parent's happy dog Kaizer

A snake we found at the university
Sigge, the neighbor's cat, who likes to come hang out
The new foster doggy, Al Gore-ithm
He will live here till he finds a new home. I think he's a mix between corgi and jack russel. His legs are about 12 cm long and his body is 5 times as long, haha!

Afrocubism in Stockholm

Last night we saw Afrocubism play in Stockholm for free!
We saw Eliades Ochoa, the last remaining member of Buena Vista Social Club and his band Grupo Patria, who have collaborated with some of Mali's biggest superstars, my favorite Djelimady Tounkara who plays guitar like a BOSS! Here's a video with pretty crappy sound from the show of the song Djelimady Rumba
Here's a link to a proper recording of the song

more BVI, at Salt Island














A lion fish Carrie, the captain's wife, found and stabbed. They are invasive and originally from the west Atlantic.

 Baza, the captian, shows us how to clean a conch.
This is the aphrodisiac part, and comes out of the conch's weiner! :D :P

Grossed out Rachel in background

Vagina look alike (conch shell)

remains of the slaughtered conchs, you can see their blood on the deck (the grey stuff)
