Bujumbura is very steep and hilly with many banana plantations.
Burundian women walk long distances balancing heavy loads on their heads.
Streetkids in Bujumbura pose outside a military barracks.
Not shown in the picture is the large group of armed Burundian soldiers watching
us suspiciously off to the left. Had we attempted to take their photo or moved
closer to the barracks with the camera it's probable the camera would have been
confiscated, at the very least.
Burundi is a beautiful country but impoverished by
decades of civil war.
