Morning Commute

I’ve begun to really enjoy my morning commute. I have begun walking to and from work, which is about a half of an hour one way. And though it gets really busy when I get downtown, the first part is wonderful. I walk past a couple of schools so if I time it right I get to see the young primary school aged kids as they walk to school. Here they wear uniforms which are bright hues of blues, purples and pinks. And as they joyfully make their way to their classrooms, alongside friends or siblings, the colors dance along. There is something gorgeous about these little ones’ dark brown skin contrasted with the bright uniform colors on their bodies and bright smiles on their faces. Though I hear Muzungu many times in the half hour, I am glad to witness such a colorful display every morning.
