A day in the village...


During my first visit through the Village of Umofia I was caught up in the pictures that so clearly illustrate this story. I loved the pictures of the people dressed in their paints and beads it was just another reminder to me on how different our cultures are when it comes to personal attire. In visiting this the village I felt as if I was really in African walking amongst the natives and living among them.




What I found to be the most interesting was the the actual houses/huts. They weren't at all what I was picturing and it was nice to get a real look at what this people lived in. I was picturing plain flat walls but from what this pictures show us they are filled with amazing designs that must have taken a long time to complete. This village really is a beautiful place and I plan on exploring further soon.

This is such an interesting picture of a house. I wonder what the designs mean?
