Last week we were on our way to teach English at the Nzama home when we came upon Gogo Nzama carrying her latest purchases home. We of course picked her up and took her to her homestead. The sack on her head is a large bag of dog food – she is holding on to it because the dogs were jumping against her because they know what it is.

The first time the Hafens brought us out to visit the Nzamas, I thought he was turning into a creek bed but found that it was the road to their home. I am not looking forward to doing this during a rain storm.

The last shot is from a larger road near their home. There had been a lot of sugar cane fields burned off over the last two days and the sky was thick with the smoke and particles so we had beautiful but very unhealthy sunsets. This picture captures both the bright orange sun and the thick cloud of smoke hanging over the whole area.
