Looking forward to Liberia

After the week we've had, Liberia will be a relaxing vacation in November. No running water or electricity, malaria-laden mosquitos, and suffocating humidity and heat in the bush of Lofa County will be a welcome respite. I'm looking forward to familiar things like these.

Notice the beautiful red plant growing in their yard. Upcountry in Liberia one sees huge bouganvilla and other marvellously red and hot pink flowers and bushes like that growing in front of little thached palava huts and homes. No matter where you go, people like to have something pretty to look at and enjoy.
