Market 1

Saturday was market day for Cecelia our cook. She agreed to take Nina and I with her. At 9:30 off we went with me carrying containers of milk from our new cow. We would sell it to a local shop.

We visited several other shops for potatoes and ground peanuts. Next was a home of a young woman where we would purchase avocados and cassava flour. All along the walk were amazing views.

Next we would head back towards Urukundo to visit the local market right across the street. Nina and I followed on the heels of Cecelia who was all business. In Rwanda most walk with a slow, slow pace. Not Cecelia. She had us moving right along to get everything bought and back home.

The market is always an experience. Groups of children would gather round us. Because Cecelia is so well known, I was allowed to take some photos. Beautiful weather, friendly Rwandans, smiling kids and colors all around made it a wonderful morning!!!
