-----Kisoro and about town

--This magazine-esque photo of" Children on the side of the road "was taken by Carol last Feb.
---This is an interesting shot: The woman in the fore ground is a more "modern" woman as she is wearing a dress, jacket and shoes. She is carrying a sports-bag-of -sorts on her head. The traditional woman passing her, wears the traditional toga like garb over her clothes, is shoe less and carries a straw basket on her head.
-----The women also carry plastic bags filled with items for the Market, as well as straw containers.

Most children walk miles to school, home for lunch and then back again until near 5 pm. But the lucky ones get to take the "BUS". This is a group of the lucky ones getting a ride to school.
-----Walking to town every monday and thursday for Market Days
----This young woman apparently has the money (or the boyfriend) to get a ride on a boda boda
---- Note the woman carrying a baby on her back and a basket on her head, probably headed to or from the market. While the guy merrily rides his bike carrying nothing -smile
