Fun Local Scenes

Two girls in their Sunday best!  We see local ladies and young ladies attending the local temple and they are always dressed in their finest.  Frequently young children or teens dress alike.

"Tro Tros" are everywhere every day, all day!  They are private buses (usually beat-up  vans) that transport people, goods and our friends have seen a live goat strapped to the back!!  Frequently, people are hanging out windows with one guy who  acts as a "barker" and hawks potential customers and also yells out the bus destination.  Driving here is an ABSOLUTE FREE FOR ALL!  More about this later but aggression is the only way to survive...so far Linda and I are doing well!

Every street corner brings the walking vendors.  The ladies carry all types of goods on their heads.  Many carry a lot of weight.  Here, it looks to have about 20 or so drinks.  They stand between traffic lanes and hawk each car or Tro Tro.  They dodge the cars and also the motorbikes that have no road rules whatsoever!  The bikes go between cars and ignore all road signs or signals!   We will have to tame our driving down big-time when we get home!

Selling on the streets everywhere!
