A lost message from Robyn asked about me wearing pants. Burundi has no restrictive female dress code, and if there was one, I would be exempt. The general rule, however is dress up as much as possible, as often as possible. Burundians stayed coiffed and pressed in oppressive heat and dirt. It takes a lot of work to stay presentable.
Up country I wear my wranglers and silver tipped boots and am quite appreciated. But up country they don't see folks who look like me very often, and I am appreciated just for the novelty.
Derek could pass for Bono if they knew who bono was.
The dirts is very red, Raye, I think your comment fell through the cracks too.
Thank everybody for you patience and time stay tuned P
