The Book of African Experiences (:

This is going to be a note of just little stuff that happens every day but that's gotta go down in the Book of Africa Experiences (:

Dad and I were coming back from a trip to the boutique and we were getting close to the little stream that all the ladies come to to wash pots and pans and kids (: When I looked ahead, there were a lady standing in the middle of the stream (this is the African part) without a shirt on. I mean, she didn't have anything on except her skirt, and she wasn't taking a bath at that moment or really doing anything, just standing there. lol.

While dad was taking me to school this morning we saw 6 guys pushing their 3-wheeled carts along the side of the road. Each cart had at least 7 or 8 bags of cement mix on them. That's super heavy!!!! Each bags weighs like 50 kg, which is 100 lb. so that's literally half a ton!

Today Dad and I were coming home on the motorcycle and up ahead we saw a guy riding... with a tire literally around his waist!! I have nooo idea how he got it on, then got on the moto, but I really really really wish I'd had my camera for that shot.

Kangaba (2nd time)

Today we had an awesome day swimming at Kangaba! This was Matthias's going-away treat to the kids, although he won't be leaving for another 3 weeks. So just about everybody went this time, except Mom who was sick the day before and wasn't feeling fully recovered today. We ate an early lunch and left pretty much right away afterwards. It only took us about half an hour to get there, despite the fact that Kangaba's tucked away by several typical African roads (full of bumps and ditches). We spent the whole afternoon there, and hunger was really the only thing that brought us and the kids home at 5:30. We had a ton of fun though. Some of them did flips that I got some good pics and video of. And then they were kicking a ball from one end, to the kids at the other end who would make a mad dive for it when it stopped in the water. Dad and I tried to get the ball so we could show them how to throw the ball in the air for someone to jump and catch. After we did, they showed us how un-amazing that really was lol. Then they started throwing the ball up and kicking it in the air! It was really cool and I think those were some of the best pics I got of them. They also had fun pushing people into the deep end, and I got my share of surprises. Luckily though, I never got thrown in like some of the guys did. And nobody got hurt, which was a plus (: Hama had a ton of fun just being in the water. He was seriously like a fish, when you took him out he practically flopped back in lol. So yeah, I think we all had a very good day, and everyone's going to sleep reeeeally well tonight for sure! (:
