a few more photos...

a few photos...finally able to upload! The streets in Butembo after the rain! (and women wear heels!)

These scooters all over, used for carrying people, goods and all sorts of produce! Quite something to see when they race downhill, but a real struggle when pushed uphill, often requiring a few men to push.

A roadside market selling pineapple and passionfruit (in the long baskets)


The 15 seater Twin Otter J and I flew from Goma to Butembo, a stunning flight!!

Our bus from Butembo to Bunia - 21 passengers.

In addition to the wooden scooters, the other main mode of transport (aside from the primary method - walking and carrying firewood, produce, etc. on one's head or back)
