We are walking back from the Rappaports' field location after the kaiko celebrations. The Kiap road, which is supposed to be maintained by each clan along the Simbai Valley, is in rather bad repair. Several bridges are out.
I do not find it pleasant to inch my way over a log or to leap from boulder to boulder.
We are always glad when we can cross a good bridge.
So diplomatic: "I do not find it pleasant"! I would have found it scary and tedious, especially in a skirt!
ReplyDeleteLesson for us all: never take a good bridge for granted.
