OyuTunji

Hey Everyone! As promised, here are some pictures from my trip down south. Adam and Lynnea and I had a great time.


First we drove pretty much straight down to Charleston, SC. On the way there we saw this African village sign so we turned in and found a group a Africans living in the woods of SC. I thought Adam was crazy for wanting to go in, but he really did so we did. It was kinda neat - Adam said it was a lot like his mission.

The village had a king and temples for their gods and everything. They said they are Nigerian.



This is the entrance to their village. The weirdest thing was that all along the highways down all you see are trees - thick bush. Adam and I kept talking about how there were probably all sorts of crazy things back in there. We found one!




These are the huts some of them stay in. Others are in wooden shacks.












They had lots of temples built for their gods. This one is for their god of water.


They also had a school system where they said they teach reading, math, culture, and their language.







Our tour guide played the drums for us. He was ok...
