Women carrying things on their heads

African women are amazing. They must all have amazing balance, and strong necks and backs, and well, just be in great shape. So, a look at the kinds of things they carry on their heads... (pictures taken all along the trip...)

Looks like laundry in this one. Notice also, baby strapped to back. I'm so gonna do that.

Pasta for sale.

Very large, heavy metal gas can. Amazing.

Wooden crafts for sale.

Miscellaneous items in tubs. You see LOTS of women with these. Notice these women have babies in front- it probably means they are feeding. They just flip em from back to front when they need to- and there is no modesty about the boob being out. In some areas, we did see women simply topless.
