A troop of tiny dancers welcomed us and kicked off the ‘thank you’ ceremony for our final day in Bubanza.  We were also greeted by the Chief of the Zone, the Chief of the village and our friend and former chief, Ntazina.

The honored guests…

Then there was an outbreak of dancing, hugging and good-byes.

Martha dancing with the best of ‘em.

Carol getting a dancing lesson from a Batwa friend.

Anna getting showered hugs from her adoring helpers / friends.

Martha’s final conversations with her good friends.

Funny faces, good friends!

Then we returned to the house for a dinner among more friends.  I think Little Claude loved seeing pictures of Carol’s garden grown with tips he gave her last year in Matara!  Then there was a buffet…

Yes, we are eating well, friends!

The day has come to a close… we are ready to go to sleep with smiles (and sore muscles from all the dancing).
