Full of smiles and laughter. And always interested in anything I had in my day pack - especially the balloons and bouncy balls I handed out. I always had an audience during my morning shaving ritual. The only water was down by the river. But with knee deep mud, I spent more time trying to get the mud off than shaving.
Most local villages are along the waterways.
During the wet season, the water rises tremendously and creates a mud bog. The mud above has just started to dry out.
