This is a picture of the rice fields. The Boomyah people eat rice three times a day and consider anything you eat with rice to simply be a side dish. It rains here for 6 months out of the year. During that season, the farmers build fields like this so that the rain water will drain off the mountains and down through the rice paddies. We live in the city now, but when we move at the beginning of next year, scenes like this will be the backdrop to our life.
