The bathers must wonder about the crazy white woman talking to herself. One little girl is crying because my yellow helmet makes me look like a monster. So I take it off. She starts shrieking. White people are ghosts.
White people have funny hair and noses.
White people who ride motos with helmets have strange markings of dust on their faces. Unable to pacify the kid, I shove on to the village, which is blissfully close. The president of the women's group is waiting for me. Sloshing over to her, I rip off my gloves and helmet to embrace her. At last, we can get down to business.
