We were greeted in this village by elaborately costumed dancers of all ages who later gave a nice performance. On arrival, we were offered a drink of the local, special "brew." [which was VERY strong].
In several places we visited the apartments of some local people. [
Elderhostel pays them for this
privilege]. Here, we have just visited this woman's apartment and are standing in the entry way admiring her grandchild.
Outside another village, we were able to get a great photo of this man plowing. We saw many, many people plowing with water buffalo but usually from the train or bus. Here we were walking back to the bus. We also saw one case [from the train] of four men in harness pulling the plow instead of a buffalo.
