It is 2 1/2 hours walking or 45 minutes by boat up the coast just north of Busameng. Often the teachers and caretaker would come to Malalo for church or special events for a day or overnight. Ina would host them with meals regularly. It was great for her to have the company. She was often isolated even though she was amongst alot of people. She did not have other ‘Europeans’ around. Alvin was gone alot. Her children were very small. She could not speak the language well enough to converse in. There were no telephones, email, texting. The only outside communications was through letters and very limited 2 way radio where she could call out 2 times a day and the occasional visitors. Sometimes there were alot of visitors at certain times a year like Christmas and Easter. Letter writing was her being able to ‘talk’ to someone. ~Paula https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6025ca1cf8c51a646ce9f733/d52e2fb9-e65b-49d2-a865-8190e2cfbe04/IMG_2846.JPG Blog - Perhaps our most frustrating part is trying to find out just where we fit in. - Make it stand out Bula falls.

But the background is what to pay attention to. This is taken on the Malalo station on the south side of the station house the veranda side. The chicken coop can be seen in the background. The path continues down the mountain side ( away from the coast) of the Malalo hill where some of the station workers live like Metegemeng and family, Gideon’s family (Malalo’s secretary), Abolie who takes care of the horse, cows and general station caretaker. There is the big mango tree that Paula is sitting in front of. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6025ca1cf8c51a646ce9f733/137f9e41-e988-4f4a-b239-fb61576283b8/MalaloFromBack-2.jpg Blog - My house girls screamed that the horse was running away… - Make it stand out View of Malalo hill from the ‘back’ from a mountain.

They came out of the mountains and reached road, Alvin wondered why they did not have a vehicle. They stayed at a place off the road. A local brought a sleeping mat that was full of bedbugs. So, they shook out all the bed bugs. Much later, met them in Iowa in 2019 during a tournament that Drake University was in.
