The road repairs are such an improvement in this area! You may recall photos a year ago of the steep drop offs and pothole-pocked roads that were such a challenge. But behold!--Drainage culverts, road-burms and new pavement! What progress!
All these things are common sights in Arusha these days. Carts are pushed everywhere, heavy-laden with anything from lumber or sugar cane to pots and pans. Mamas carry unusually large loads on their heads, goods for the market or purchases to be transported home again.
But here is a sight we don’t see very often: they are painting the walkways on street! These city workers put up simple barriers (sand bags, paint buckets, or rocks) so that they can hand-paint new lines on the road. I guess, the guy who can paint a straight line gets the job.
