Exploring the Village
08/25/2017 AD explored
It's a bit disconcerting to pass a herd buffalo (kwai) for the first time (or second for that matter)!
This occurred today as we decided to walk to the elementary school and back in order to see the village. The dirt roads and farms give a very peaceful feeling.

Good Morning There was a buffalo grazing on our property this morning when we left Noy''s house to go for a walk. It is pretty scary to walk past them as they are very large animals!
Who's leading Whom? The girls were eager to show me their school, but they kept getting distracted
The School By far the most modern place in the entire village is the school. And it hasn't changed much since Muu attended 15 years ago.
School Playground Well maintained and big enough for a soccer field. The podium is used to raised the flag each morning.
The Campus The school is actually a campus of several buildings that traditionally supported elementary and middle school. But beginning this year they will begin adding high school grades as well.
Typical Pen We passed several homes with pens such as this to hold anywhere from one to several cows. This one was fairly typical of the style.
Lean Cattle Many of the animals are sadly undernourished - but they seem otherwise fairly well treated.
Chickens Everywhere Chicken coops seem unknown here. The chickens just run around - hens, roosters, chicks -- everywhere!
Dinner Typical dinner out on Noy's porch. Family and neighbors come and go - many coming to greet Rick offers wine to all.
