Adventures in the township
continue…we were driving along and I saw a boy pushing a homemade car made out
of a 2 liter bottle and a stick, which you see often here and I wanted to take
a picture of it.
Rick stopped the car and as I was
taking the picture the boy dropped the stick and started waving to us big time
and then ran to Ricks side of the car and wanted us to take his picture. He had
a friend with him who also wanted his picture taken. Then came another little
boy and another. Soon there were
children surrounding the car.
Rick was trying to get them to
back off so he could get a picture of them as they were so close, when a couple
of drunken men walked by and wanted their picture taken.
They asked us where we were from.
Rick told them from America and they started talking about this news channel
that carries news from the USA and wanted to know when they would see their
pictures. When Rick held the camera out so they could see their picture he had
already taken, they grabbed his hand and tried to pull the camera to them. I
don’t think they were trying to steal the camera but I’m glad Rick had a firm
hold on it or we may have had some trouble getting it back in a timely fashion. Even
after seeing their picture on the camera they kept asking when they would see
their picture. It then dawned on us that they thought we were from the news
station and since we were from the US they would be able to see their pictures
on TV. We told them that wouldn’t happen
and said good-bye. Boy we need to be
careful where we stop and who we take pictures of. Oh, yeah…the men were drunk, very drunk!!!
