Huts, baskets and more trees...oh and livestock


The huts in the villages are pretty varied. Some are square, others round. Many are built atop tight packed dirt or even concrete and then large tree trunks hold up the edges of the thatched roofs giving a wrap around porch. They are also often painted, some with wonderful designs and patterns.

We stopped at "the bridge" on the way there and back to pick up drinks and snacks.




Then of course, if there is not charcoal by the side of the road, there is livestock...generally crossing as you approach at high speed.



Lots of trees, more hills and lots more of the Great East Road in reverse.

That's a huge baobab tree on the side of the mountain we were driving through.

Then more people carrying heavy tubs of water.


A very random "bus stop"

And beds on top of an already overloaded truck...

And then back in Lusaka for a couple of days.


That's about it for now. More posts from my next location!!!

Love,
K.
