Tuesday, Nov 8. Town visit. The market was large, busy, and bossy. T-short salesmen, etc. assailed us while we tried to buy food for our home visit. Flies.

School was fun. Principle was a take-no-prisoners kind of woman, with the size to match. “We have no trouble with parents.” Period. All students have nearly shaved heads, so the girls are identified by the skirts. They all wear sweaters! Crazy from my perspective. Balloons were a BIG hit. Took photos too.

Home tour was at a middle class family with a small but efficient farm. Nice people, but certainly not a representative demographic of the country’s poverty. Good food.

Afternoon was free, and I took advantage of it. Pool, beer, rest. (Almost) no dust.
