My water carring experience

            I go an visit my kiva loan person time to time. I just went to visit her 9 days ago. It was really hard she showed and explaind to me how the woman go and get water I went to go see what they have to go through just to get water for a day. We woke up early and we went outside and I saw all the woman coming out of their houses with gaint 5, 10 gallons worth of water bottles that they were going to fill up. Estrella and I started are long walk to the water. We ran into a kid my age taking care of his fathers farm, and he lost one of his water buffalo. We helped him find it and he walked with us for a little. Estrella had to translate a lot of what he was saying. He was saying that he might expect some rain. he had to go back to his father to tell him the good news. We have been walking for about two hours. As we talked about how her business has been doing we found that we were there at the water hole. It took us time and concentration to fill up the 5 gallons. It was starting to get dark but it was still dusk. I found it a little scary. I had to take a break every 10 minutes I was really impressed how fast she was walking. I saw clouds starting to come over us It got could than it started to sprinkle than pored. I felt the sore pain eking in my shoulders the mud in my toes. When we got to her home I felt like there wasn't any gravity. I thought to myself when was the last time Ive every done anything like that before.
