The Village

Innocent's church clothes.  I just had to take a picture.  And if anyone knows how to rotate pictures on blogger please tell me.
 On Sunday, we went to visit Patrina's mom house- in the village.  The way that people talk about going up north or camping at home, people here talk about going to "the village."  Even though I was sick, I went, because when else do you get to go?  I can't believe I have just two more weeks until mom's here!

I thought this was a super interesting tree until I realized it's covered by a termite mound.

Donkeys. 

Traditional huts.  
 Patrina's mom lives in a modern cement house, but they keep traditional huts for storage of agricultural goods.  Even though they have a modern kitchen, they still cook traditional foods in a traditional outdoor kitchen.  They also keep huts ready in case an elder visits who prefers to sleep in a hut.
