Saturday Walk
Last Saturday we decided to have a nice morning walk. For some reason we had woken up early (I was
up with the light of the day before 7 am). We have yet to really walk the direction out of
town to just wander about. Mostly we walk into town as transport. I had jogged out
this direction, but had mostly stuck to the main road, where mtatus and cars
and tractors (and bikes hauling loads too) scream past. So we walked in the
beautiful warm sun from the paved road (bara bara) and found another small road that runs past the
railroad tracks, some small houses, a few mud row houses, and then down to the
river. Then we walked back up this small road to the
paved road, crossed it and walked up to the hill. There is a very nice view of the surrounding
area from this height. It seems the hill is less of a hill and more the
edge of a plateau or something. This may
be a nice future picnic spot. (see video below). Next we descended. On our
way down toward the paved road and the small water treatment building we met a
young woman who promptly and warmly invited us to see her house. She lives in one of the very small houses
next to the treatment building. She said
her mother and other people who work at the small building live here in this group of houses She had just returned from her boarding
school for the holiday break. She
invited us in to meet her sister and have a cup of tea. We sat and talked with our neighbors for a
good while enjoying their hospitality and sharing stories. We hope to see them
again soon.
