Fixing dinner.
Fixing dinner is a family affair
Market in Bo
Interesting quote on the bathrooms!
Saturday we left the ship at 8 am and took a hired to taxi 3.5 hours to Bo. This is the hometown of Alyssa's friend Lamarana. She had not been home to visit her family for over 2 years. The drive through the countryside was beautiful. Sierra Leone has lush vegetation and rolling hills. The roads are in amazingly good condition.
It was fun to see Lamarana's reunion with her family...her father, mother, her two step-mothers and 9 brothers and sisters. We also met Emily, her son's other grandmother, who is raising her son. Her sister-in law also lived with them and is working as a seamstress. We saw her complete at least 3 dresses while we were there.
There was a sudden rainstorm that turned the dirt roads into temporary rivers. But life goes on and the girls continued to wash dishes in the rain. Lamarana's mother cooked us fry fry. It was steak and potatoes fried and served in a wheat bun.
