About halfway back to Arusha is the village of Magugu,
known
throughout East Africa for high-quality, aromatic rice.
The fields
are golden and ready to be harvested.
Bayo showed us how the grains form and
how they simply fall off the stalk when they are ripe.
We took a few minutes in the village for a "tour"
(ok, really more of a look-around) at the processing plant. As we arrived, we
had a difficult time knowing where to park the car, since tarps covered with
drying rice blanketed the front property...right up to the road.
