Chibwe

We were invited to spend a night with our friend Pastor Paul at his village home.  This is the place where the snake was killed that wasn't a cobra (post May 22nd).  We travelled by canter (small lorry), but weren't allowed to ride in the back.  We were a little disappointed about this, it is uncomfortable getting special treatment because we are white, but our old bones were very grateful for the comfort of the cab.
We spent a lovely evening with Paul and his wife Emmy and their family.  Paul was called away to one of his congregation and did not return until nearly midnight.  He was then up at 5 the following morning and escorted us the couple of miles back to the road to pick up the canter returning to town.

A few pictures:
