Nice Painting

I saw this painting in Ghana, and I just thought it was classy. Actually, insightful. The scene is steriotypical of the everyday interaction between the white (or in this picure, just Western) expat and African society. These girls may as well be one of the girls who sits in my office in Freetown, and they may as well be walking to the market on a standard Saturday in Freetown. I like the guy in the white suit falling over the lady in the yellow shirt. I also like the way that the white girl is swinging her hips; with confidence. I rate that she's been in the peace corps, and that she's walked on streets like these before.

Back Home in Salone

I'm back in Salone. And it actually felt good to step out of the plane and welcome the thick hot air. I even had a slight home coming feeling. I do slightly shudder to think how excited I'll get when I get to catch a glimpse of Cape Town outside the plane window...

I arrived back almost 2 weeks ago now, and I've written a bunch on the Salone Sundays page. If you haven't seen my Salone Sundays page yet, find the link on the side of this page, or click here.

I also just wanted to put this picture up. I saw it on my first day back in town. I've heard about the Flaming Bible Church before, but it was good to get some photographic evidence. Legendary name! I should try it some time. Although I think it might be a church you have to wear a suit to...
