Traveling to church on the back of a Boda Boda, all dressed in her Sunday best. Boda Boda's are motor cycles that function like taxi's in the U.S. They are an inexpensive form of public transit. They got their name from being used to transport people across no-mans-land between borders, border to border,hence the name. They can be rather dangerous to ride as well because the drivers whip in and out of the traffic and the cars can have a hard time seeing them. Most women ride side saddle as we are generally wearing a skirt in public and one would not sit astraddle behind a stranger. All the drivers are men. It is quite an experience!
