A little hike

One day we took a walk/hike to a hamlet about 15 minutes away

  
 

The kids did great on the trail.  We did carry Roman most of the way even though he would much prefer to do it all on his own:)

 

 On the way up we met some women carrying boards down.  Do you see the bag hanging down on the lady's back?  Yeah, there's a one year old baby in there.

 There are about 5 honais (those round huts) in this hamlet.  The kids chased the chickens and then we sat down with some ladies and they gave us bananas.  Roman ate three in 5 minutes.

 This was the baby in the bag.  Isn't he precious?  Most of their babies are very healthy looking and just adorable:)

 This lady was helping the kids get flowers.

 

I haven't gotten a picture yet of the inside of one of their houses.  There is a fire in the middle which keeps everything nice and smokey (no chimney).  The floor is woven out of some type of bark.  Everyone just sleeps on the floor around the fire.  There is also a designated area for the pigs to sleep:)
