Our tour guide stopped in a homestead in a nearby village. We were immediately welcomed and offered a seat. The head of the family led the informal tour and he was packed with knowledge to share. We learned about everyday life including water retrieval, cooking, washing, showering, schooling, cultural ceremonies, etc. We were invited in to each part and encouraged to take photos and ask questions. We were also invited to learn how to weave a basket and make corn meal. We learned so so much about the advantages and disadvantages of this way of life. One of the best things we have done in our 3 week trip to Africa.
