The end of the peanut saga

I guess this is now part three of the peanut saga, or should I say the peanut trilogy.  This one will be mostly pictures, I think, because there's not much left to tell.

We worked for a few hours and then Mariama decided that it was time for us to eat.  She said something to Ans along the lines of us needing more energy to finish the work.  I wasn't actually too tired at at point... the work isn't super hard, you just have to be bent over a lot.  But we ate anyway.  It was rice and a fish/peanut sauce.  Pretty tasty, other than the little fish bones and a few bits of dirt.  Ans and I ate alone while the rest of them worked... apparently they didn't need more energy yet but thought the wimpy fotés did.

I didn't take a watch with me, so after maybe another hour of work, I asked Ans what time she thought it was.  She asked Mariama, and after looking at the sun in the sky, she guessed maybe close to 2.  I was supposed to be back to run the store at 2:30.  Ans drafted the two kids to guide me back, so off we went.  I actually got back a little before 1, which ended up being nice since it was tortilla tuesday, and I wanted to help get that started.  I also got to carry a little baby around on my back for a while because LaBelle brought her along when she came.

Ok, now for some pictures...

Everyone else working while I take pictures.  Notice the nice view in the background. :)

 

I did eventually start helping.
