A Semblance of Work

While we bumbed around we also got a chance to try out grass cutting, the local way. Well, actually it is a new local way. In the past they used one-hand sycles to do all of their work. Someone from europe (Switzerland?) introduced these scythes, which are much more efficient and make for faster work. They still need to be sharpened every 10 minutes, though, or it literally gets tough to hack!

I love the very 'farmer' look you have in the last picture. Doesn't even look like you, really!

That's because it isn't- it's my room mate. Never fear, everyone else makes the same mistake all the time. I answer to his name as a matter of routine :-)
