We just returned from a weekend visit with friends who live about two and a half hours away. Dusty drove, so I got to write down a few more observations of roadside life.
-a welder wearing knock-off designer sunglasses for critical eye protection
-flocks of school kids in uniforms walking home for lunch
-a motorbike taxi driver wearing a boater's life vest to meet the new standard for wearing fluorescent/reflective driver identification vests
-a boy on a bike carrying a bike on his bike
-smoking fires set by farmers to prepare the soil for the next crop
-mosques
-massive piles of rolling cabbages as we drove through one village
-pairs of men holding each others' hands, a common practice
-lathered bathers in small brown streams
-children and women doing laundry among purple water hyacinths covering the surface of the water
-mango trees absolutely dripping with green mangoes
-spiky sisal plants planted as natural fencing and boundaries
-mountains of rice drying in their husks which look like construction piles of sand
-As we drove past the Serengeti, we saw wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and baboons.
And our favorite - Spiderman! Or, at least a young boy in Spidey pajamas. We occasionally see adults and children wearing pajamas that come from the Western world and are mistaken for regular clothing.
I wish I had photos to go along with all the sightings, but at 100km/hr the camera just can't get it all well. You'll just have to come out and see for yourself!
