This weekend the Sociology Department sponsored a trip to Lake Nzulezo and the Amansuri Village, which is also known as the village on stilts. The village is in the Western Region and took us six hours to get there. We left campus at 1:30 a.m. on Saturday morning. (We were supposed to leave at 12:30 a.m. I've adjusted to Africa time surprisingly well). Unfortunately, the air conditioner was on full blast and I've come down with a nasty cold.
The ride to the village took 45 minutes and was facilitated by our guide. There were three or four people per canoe. The scenery was unreal!!!It was so quiet and peaceful and I enjoyed every moment of it. The guide told us that the village was first founded by settlers that came down from Mali and that it has been inhabitated for the past 600 years.
