The drive home

The drive home from the hospice was somewhat of an experience also. Picture traffic policeman in the middle of a huge junction having a chat while the cars do as they please, people darting in and out of the cars with various containers basket and fruit on their heads and you start to get an idea! Add rickety shacks from which material, fruit, peppers and every other random thing you can think of bags of water, papers, candy...Oraginised (?) chaos reigns!
We passed by the university and certainly one of the much more impressive buildings of the lot. Many other buildings are still in pieces from the war, around and about are bilboards advertising how Liberia is going to be changed and rebuilt. Quite odd advertisements!
As we get nearer to the ship, we cross a river, in it are many people washing their clothes, children playing, and a few people in large canoes made out of hollowed trees. Quite an amazing sight!
Hope that gives you a bit of a picture, it's quite tough to be able to take photos here so, until I brave it...
