Local Dancers; could have watched them all day
Local landscape. The day was ending here but the villagers showed no signs of slowing down!
Goats, there were 31 of them.
Being escorted into the village in a sea of people. Always touching always a bit overwhelming.
Okay, yes, this does look slightly biblical!
This was a wonderful sight. They had the Canadian flag up, and as we walked into the village, there was something moving about seeing the maple leaf against the African landscape. I felt a certain pride that this project was associated with that flag, but as a country with our incredible wealth, we could do much more.
The dancers are presenting to us and are dancing to tin clackers, and a big lug nut around their thumb that is tapping the metal. I am astounded at the rythym of these people. I have seen children drumming on an empty cardboard box, and it sounds great. And when the drummers get going, it gets even better.
People are jammed in, watching the presentation...needless to say it got very very hot standing in the crowd.
