RIVER RIDE IN KISUMU

October 30, 2013

On a pretty afternoon after study, planning, and preparing

we took a ride west of town and followed a road going north.

We saw some beautiful but different area than we had seen.

There were many homes and life movements.

We followed a river that crossed the Nairobi Highway and 

found this foot bridge that connected the banks of the river.

With erosion the river was in a deep chasm.

Some very pretty areas with the brown river water.

Looking north from the river.

The picture doesn't so this justice!!

At an open place near the river we saw the uses of the water.

Laundry, play and water for home use.

These boys were really having fun!!

Shamba of a nearby compound.

Notice the many heads used for carrying items.

These young boys were taking their jugs of water from the river

to their homes. We watched fascinated as they dragged the upper

yellow jug up the hill from the river. 

The boy in the red shorts dragged it between his legs. 

I was surprised how fast he could move it.

We traveled quite a distance - until the road was so rough and 

deep drops that we dared not go further. 

We enjoyed the new country.

As we came into town by a different road we passed the
junction in Kondele and saw these two entrepreneurs going
through the garbage dropped near the junction.
