A Weekend Walk

This weekend my friend and fellow volunteer, Chelsea came to visit. This required her taking two trains and a maxi-taxi, essentially a full day of traveling to come see me. We had a nice visit and gorgeous weather! On Saturday afternoon we climbed to the cross on the hill outside of my site that is lit up each night. I have wanted to do this walk since I arrived, but this is the first weekend weather has finally worked in my favor. When I arrived at site in August it was simply too hot and then we had a spell of rain.

Saturday it was crisp and sunny, perfect for the walk. I had been given vague directions from locals that involved walking to the train tracks, turning left and finding a crossing, then trying to find the path. We did have to back track a couple times, but the weather made it enjoyable.
