Road crews

The condition of the roads varies widely here.  In some places they are as good as in the States (better than the Dummy Line Road that I was raised on in Louisiana - shout out to Winnsboro).  In other places, they are pretty bad.  When the rain comes down off the mountains, it washes the roads away in some places leaving a dirty, rocky surface that is severely bumpy.  Un/underemployment runs about 36% here so people are always looking for ways to make a little money.  At these places where the road is damaged, men and even little boys will come out and fill these places with rocks and dirt.  Then they'll stand in the middle of the road by the place that they fixed and try to collect money for their work.
