The buildings in the back are where the people lived their day-to-day lives.

Behind the front rooms there are six clusters of homes, one for each of the brothers. This building above (center photo) is where my grandfather spent his childhood. He recognized the building immediately by its name. In the back of the homes there is a huge lily pond.

Distant Relative

As we walked around the lily pond, we discovered a distant relative living in one of the houses. He graciously allowed us into his home. Stepping into the doorway was truly a step back in time.

 The courtyard as you walk into the house.

 

 

As we can unexpectedly, he was just starting to prepare his meal over the open hearth.

 

 

 The latrine and food preparation area. The basin on the left is for babies.

 

His bedroom with the antique bed and wardrobe.

 

 

 The altar for ancestor worship. The black tablets has the names of the ancestors written on it. There are blank spaces for future generations.
