WC stands for water closet aka toilet aka restroom.  This one was very clean.  If you have traveled abroad much, you know how important a discovery like this can be!100_2371 [640x480]  
These kids called to get my attention saying, "Picture, picture!"  The minute I turned to take their photo, they scattered, yelling, "Money, money!"  I had to laugh to myself.  With the literally hundreds of photos that I have of African children, there was no way that I was going to pay to take one more!  They were good sports and laughed as they ran away.100_2360 [640x480]  
The local riverbed offers washing opportunities for clothes and bodies.  If you look closely, you can see what I mean.

What a common sight: vendors selling goods when buses or taxis or vehicles stop for any reason.100_2391 [640x480]

You never know who/what you will see riding on the back of trucks in this country.100_2395 [640x480] 
Stacks of charcoal being sold by the side of the road.100_2398 [640x480]
Funny story: We found the restaurant at Mua Mission, but it looked a bit deserted.  Gaylord asked, "Is this the restaurant?" 
At this, the young man said, "Yes." 
Gaylord followed up with, "Do you have any food?" 
To which the young man replied, "No." 
WHAT?! 
"But this is the restaurant, right?"
"Yes."
"But you have no food?!"
"Yes, but we can fix you a light lunch."
WHAT?!
Result: Fanta orange and chips (french fries).  Not bad for a restaurant with no food who serves light lunch.
