Village life


As I mentioned, in January I spent a week in a border village. Here are some photos from my stay:
The inside of a frond roof

Banana flower (which makes a tasty salad)

The top of this tree is the only spot with cell phone reception...

Largest mortar and pestle I have ever seen - used every day in preparing the evening meal. A woman uses her foot to push down the far end of the pestle lever; the weight of the falling pestle brings it up again.
