Pictures from Mogou: Ruth's visit!

The cotton truck came to collect the harvests of Mogou's cotton farmers... which is pretty much everyone. They weigh the cotton on site and then issue a receipt. Another truck is supposed to come soon with the payments.

Toby, ready for a walk around town.

Pounding fufu, a staple dish made from boiled yams pounded into a sticky jello-like ball. Really good with peanut sauce.
