We returned to Namwianga on Thursday after picking up some members of the early team. At one spot along the road we found a group of ladies and young girls selling fresh produce. As soon as the bus stopped, the vendors mobbed the bus, holding up their vegetables and yelling, "Buy mine! Buy mine!" Riders passed kwacha out the windows as the produce came in. A few minutes later we were on our way again, leaving a few happy sellers and several disappointed ones as well.
