We enjoyed spending PNG's Independence day in Goroka. The NTM Center planned a huge event, starting with the high school band playing a couple of pieces including the PNG National anthem. 

 Then we watched a parade of many different tribal groups as well as the NTM missionary kids floats. This group is known as the 'Mud Men'.

 Jonathan seemed to enjoy watching everything!

 But he didn't want to get too close to these guys!

 Jonathan almost had a horse ride too, but the line was too long and he had to take a nap, maybe next time!
