Swinging

This is supposed to be a foot swing, but Pika decided it was the perfect size for him. He was right! Now he can't get enough of it!

Washing Clothes

Phew…washing clothes is hard work here. There are no washing machines or dryers. Everything is washed by hand and then dried in the sun. On Saturday morning Pikachu decided to see what it is like to wash clothes by hand even though he doesn’t wear clothes himself. And now after all of the scrubbing, twisting, and ringing he is glad he doesn’t wear clothes that have to be washed each week. It is going to take him a few days just to rest his sore arms.

We Miss Briaunna!

Pika on a Piki Piki

Most days to move around Pikachu just walks from place to place. But yesterday Pika got to ride on a Piki Piki (motorcycle). He wanted to go out to the new land where his house is being built to check out the progress and it is too far to walk. As he sat on the Piki Piki he was a little scared because the roads are rough and bumpy here, but the driver went nice and slow. Pika also wished he had worn sunglasses because the dust kept getting in his eyes. The wind blew in his face as they made their way up and down a few small hills before reaching the land. They past many people walking into town from their gardens or homes. Some people carry large loads of firewood on their heads. They also passed many bor holes on the way, which are deep wells that people use to pump up ground water. Pika was glad for the experience of riding on a Piki Piki, but definitely prefers walking as his main form of movement.
