Such a wonderful jurney. It reminded me of my trips back home when I was in college. It was always good to go back home, when you've grown in a rural town of "simple" people, with deeply roots traditions of honesty and hard work.
Pity sometimes that changes for the worse.
Now, I do not even make plans to visit my hometown.
About the scary-looking truck/jeep
People adapt and do what they can with what is available to them.
So true. We are having worse than those now in state capitals and even in the nation's capital.
You have some really amazing pictures here. Too many to count.
I am curious about the cassava drying on the road. What do people do with it? We have cassava here, but we either eat it boiled (fresh, whole) or processed as a dough and made into a tortilla-like bread
Right? Sometimes we see simplicity as being poor or lacking but sometimes simplicity is more. We live our own lives and we do with what we are given.
Oh we cook and eat cassavas in various ways here lol! Some even make chips out of it. For the dried cassava, locals will sell them to market to be used as food for pigs.
