So after three nights in the small village of Yagendaimo, we said good-bye and began the hike back into the larger village of Ilugwa in Danama. When we got there we had much to do. The girls needed to help the village ladies get ready for the bakar batu tomorrow. A bakar batu is a large feast where the food is cooked with hot rocks.It is amazing the time that goes into such a celebration.

We went into the gardens with the ladies and picked greens, labu siam (a hard, green, lumpy vegetable), ubi (sweet potatoes) and other edible leaves. Then we took them to a water source where we could scrub them all down. The boys were all busy hauling wood and rocks.
Here are some pictures
