As we travel the remote roads, we see the life of the people played out before us. Children playing around the yard even while improvements and expansion of their homes are underway. Tall-grown grass has recently been cut, in preparation for a new grass roof.
Even young children have heavy responsibility during harvest season, perhaps even selling produce to drivers passing through the area. This lady has a big job, a heavy load to carry! She took a brief break to set down her load and rest. Behind her you can see the ongoing road construction that promises better travel in this area in the future. (This 55-mile stretch of road took us a little over 2½ hours to travel; so we really look forward to improvements!)
The local “hot Spot.” In the middle of one of the small villages we passed through, we saw this funny little scene. A pool table under a little shelter with benches for onlookers, a satellite dish beside a mud and stick structure (we’re not really sure what that’s about!), and a bicycle- the more modern form of local transportation.
