...the airstrip

Usually the airport air strip is only for airplanes......
not always!
Our airstrip apart from welcoming the Cessna Caravan twice a week is being used for plenty of activities.
Like.... the perfect place for the new drivers driving courses. Openspace....huge...flat ...safe. So the new drivers coming and testing their skills.
Airstrip also is perfect for football (soccer)...especially for the kids. Men are having their own football filed. From time to time you can see kids trying to score in an imaginary goalpost at the end of the airstrip.
If there are no kids around.....goats are.!!
Yes they  like to go around the airstrip and picking the best grass they can have.
And finally....we ....i mean some guys who start running at the airstrip. Why not.
It's good for our health for 2 reasons.
First because running and working out makes you healthy...
and second....while we are running across the airstrip we are checking it out.
Do you remember what i was telling you some months ago? During the rainy season we were checking the airstrip if it was in perfect condition for a plane to land. So ....we are doing it also in the dry season...so what!
This is the story of our airstrip.....
and we like our airstrip a lot.....it is the place we say goodbye to our friends when they are ending their missions....or when they are going for holidays ....it is the same place we say welcome when they coming back.....it's the place we receive all our goodies from the capital ....and finally.....it is our the only way to go out of this place

See you guys at the airstrip.....we are ready to fly.
