“I was drawn in to their world by the rugged and friendly people. At each turn I was greeted with smiling open faces and deeply hospitable gestures. Their homes were thrown open to me and people far in the distance waved as I passed by. Nowhere did I feel a stranger and nowhere did I come across a stranger”.
