We left the town early in the morning so that we could get to the city so that we could catch our bus back home. This bus ride was only about 2 hours, so not too bad. Fortunately we got on at the first stop so we got a seat at the back of the bus. After one stop, this bus was jam packed with villagers catching a ride into town. If they missed this bus they would have a long time to wait before another one came through.

This is a village we saw while we were on our mountain walk. We did not go down to it though because it would have taken too long.

We went on a walk and met some villagers on their way home from the market. I asked them, that's right I asked them, how long it would take them to get back to their villages, and they said about 3 hours. We walked for about 45 and then turned around so that we would be back to town before dark.

It was the first day of warmth since last year, so the village boys took advantage of it by going swimming. Some of the boys got out and put their clothes on when they saw us, but one of them was not shy. I would guess that they wash their clothes in this water and possible use it for cooking and drinking.

The government is now trying to educate the people in saving lives. I saw this CPR sign posted in a few different places.

Some houses from the village

I just thought this little village boy was adorable with his little soldier outfit on.
