Fetching water at Kadzinuni

Today's topic is fetching water. Now, since I am such a princess, I only have to walk outside with a bucket, go about 15 yards, and turn on a faucet. The water I get is rain water stored in a large tank. I treat the water with a product called "PUR" and it is truly amazing to see all the stuff that settles to the bottom after treatment. The water looks so clean coming out of the tap! I have only been sick once, a brief one day thing, but I am very careful in how I treat my drinking water and also VERY careful to always have my own drinking water with me wherever I go.

So - the photos here show my new friend, Clara, and how she fetchs water, EVERYDAY! She has told me that young girls, by the age of 5 or 6, begin training in carrying just about anything and everything on their heads. I have tried several times, with different items, draws lots of laughter from the women!

Here are a few snipets from my life here:

I have been invited to a dinner of roasted field mice. Can you guess my response?
I saw several women with plastic 50 gallon drums on their heads, WALKING UP HILL.
Today I was asked over 20 times, "Where are you going?"
There is something alive in my house that sort of looks like a small lizard.
I went to a very upscale Kenyan wedding and the wedding party consisted on 19 people,not counting the bride and groom.

I will close for now. Next time I may even include a video of the inside of my house. Also, hope to have a shot of the Kenyan men climbing the coconut trees to collect the coconuts for their disgusting coconot wine.
