Neither Wind nor Rain Will Stop Us From Swimming!

Enroute to the pool sardined in a daladala with thunder claps overhead.
Her name is Lovliness, and she is truly lovely with the raindrops cascading down her beautiful face.
The dark ominous clouds lifted, and we made it successfully to the pool.
The guys!

The girls!


The sky was threatening, and the students were willing to take the chance to leave the school's compound to visit a public pool for an afternoon of swimming.  As we were walking briskly to the daladala a 1/2 mile away, the heavens opened up to a tremendous downpour.  The students, the headmaster Mr. Marcel, and I broke into a run through a heavily populated open market to the main road where we were to catch the daladala to the pool...or to the road that led to the pool that is.  No door to door service unless one utilizes a taxi.  Students in a single file ran through a frenzy of vendors protecting their wares, cars dodging people and potholes, and people laughing and screaming all in one breath.  Pure fun!
