Last Two Days in Liberia

We spent Friday and Saturday in meetings and doing some sightseeing.  Here are some pictures of the sights.

The new bridge will be finished in November.  This will help clear up some of the traffic on the old bridge.  It takes about 45 minutes to travel about 11 miles because the traffic is so congested.

Trash is a problem, although it gets better each time we come.  We saw some goats eating the biodegradable parts of the roadside trash.

 The economy is up but mostly on a small scale.  There are lots of small vendors in the market places with everyone buying and selling.

 Centerpoint is a library in downtown Monrovia.  We shipped some books over on our container in April.  Minner (in the center) is their librarian.  She came to our training on Monday and Tuesday to learn about cataoguing books.

                                                                                                                            Of course we had to visit the beach and it was beautiful.

  We leave on Sunday for our long flight.  Liberia will be missed but we are excited to get back home.
