Who knew bananas were soooo heavy???

I traveled to mwanza, tanzania which is about 2 hours north of Dar es salaam by plane... I was lucky to fly on a 16 seater... better than the 6 seater craziness that sometimes takes you to other cities in tanzie... It wasn't 'that bad.  Once I got past the fact that my next door plane neighbor forgot her deodarant that day and I'd have to endure it for the duration of the flight.  ;-( Alot of people seem to forget [deodorant] here but I digress... I made it... here's a pic of my little plane... check out the giraffe (my fav) on the back...

So I took some time to walk around Mwanza and take in the locals after my site visit... I'm fascinated by the ladies that carry ndizis (bananas) on their heads... and its not one or two.. its several bunches... here's a pic of the ndizi lady that let me take a picture with her... then it was my turn.. I had to try... who knew they were so heavy... and she had a baby on her back... amazing!!!!
