The Zongo brothers separating their rice harvest- grains fall, husks fly away. I tried to help (not pictured.) I hope the sound works- that was my favorite part. The metal shovel going into the pile, scchinckk, and the rice being thrown into the air, flwhoosh!

I think I have reverted to being a five year old.



** okay, working on it. **
Hey, just kidding, I didn't do anything to fix it but apparently it works if you're on an internet connection that actually functions!

Danny, the neighbor kid, took me out (by bike- I decided requesting a donkey cart ride was a little high-maintenance of me) to his family's rice fields. They're beautiful. It's the tail end of the rainy season, so the rice is fully grown and still bright green.



Oh yeah, and since I live in the magical part of Burkina, there are ponds of waterlilies around the rice fields. Obviously.
