Worketh Willingly with her Hands: Come Walk with me

I am part of a Biggest Loser contest online. Just two more weeks in this round to get those pounds off. You can join me on a walk. It stopped raining long enough for this walk.

Here we are leaving the village. You can see the trash cans on the right. Often, I will pause to throw the trash as I leave the village.

We are going to turn right and head up the road. Grass and trees and no cars. I live in the middle of nowhere.

We keep walking. Here is the little drink stand/restaurant. I have never eaten there but I recently saw some foreigners there. That is where I met my friend when we walk together. She is not yet back from her summer vacation so I am walking alone.

I have to pause for the little "green go man. Actually I have to push the button so it will change. As I wait, I walk in place or do the side step.

Now we are on the other side of the road. You can see the nursery. I don't know what they grow but at New Year they have lots of orange trees.

There are the mountains. It is still a bit cloudy.

There goes a double decker bus. We ride that bus often from the train station to our village.

We keep walking. We are walking fast so we can get this walk done before it starts to rain.

There is some new houses that they are building. Most of the village house are 3 levels with an apartment on each level and about 700 sq feet.

We are getting close to where we are going to turn around. The road starts to go uphill and it is about time to get home.

The walk back is much of the same. There is a mini bus or light bus. Those seat 16 people and everyone has to be seated so if you want to be sure to get a seat ride the mini bus.

We are going to go down a side road to another village. I want to take a picture of the banana trees that I found.

There is the banana tree.

Here is heading down to the village. This village is about a 10 minute walk from the road. Which means a walk to the bus.

Heading back up the road towards our village.

Now we are entering our village.

We are going to wind our way back to our house. I think I once stood in our apartment and counted about 10 houses that I could see.

Here is our door. We live on the 1st floor. Let me open the door and you can come on up. Yes, I said up. Here the 1st floor is what we might think of as the 2nd floor because you have Ground then 1st and 2nd.
