We could not communicate with words

They were not afraid of us

We were not able to speak to each other in words that we could understand. They did not speak English, and none of us spoke their language. The little boys in Africa were happy to visit with us, and they wanted us to take photos of them. They came close to us and smiled. We could communicate and be friends without the spoken language. Meeting these young boys was a highlight of our travels.
