Getting to know the DRC better part 2

So here is both Adam and myself totally out of our element in a village that is out in the boonies, communicating with them in very broken French (Adam verbally thanks his high school French teacher, who will remain nameless, for teaching him 3-5 different phrases in French in the three years that he took the language). After getting was needed to be gotten from that village in terms of data gathering for HEAL Africa we were off. We took off to what I thought would be back to home, but we made a detour on the way back. We stopped at a village that had a Catholic church in it that was located on top of a hill over looking the village. Going to this barn on top of the hill provided a nice view of the surrounding area. Much of the area was grassland, comparable to Switzerland, which provided an excellent area for cows to graze. There were many cows that the church owned and after a few minutes later we saw what the cows were used for by the place. We were let into this barn which housed hundreds of wheels of fresh cheese. The smell of the cheese was a bit overwhelming, but the sight was really cool. Naturally we bought a couple wheels of cheese and were on our way.



Making back from Masisi proved to be no trouble, just the amount of wear and tear that our bodies received from the transport was quite considerable. Being that our residence was on Lake Kivu, we decided to jump in to wash off from the dirty trip. A day well spent.

Cheers,
Scott
