Precarious Hitchhiker



Road work in the city of Arusha is an ongoing process, even in the rainy season. Though the work of digging the drainage ditches has been stalled due to heavy rains, the lives of the local Tanzanians doesn't stop. This hitchhiker decided it was easier to "bum a ride" then try to slosh down the sides of the road. Hopping onto the skinny bumper of this Daladala (taxi-van), he saved himself the fare... but I'm sure he didn't arrive at his destination dry. I just hope that he arrived ALIVE!
