I think Dave has gone too far with this “Wesleyan superiority thing”

 

The “Gang of Three” in the back seat of a cab on the way to the Compound.  There is room for at least 3 more back here.

 

Gayla showing her coordination and dexterity as she eats a Tootsie Roll Pop and twirls her “Liberian hand fan” while lying down.

 

Now she demonstrates how to catch a breeze using the window curtains.

 

Since we were at the Baptist Compound we compromised with David by letting him wear his prayer shawl but we strapped his arms down so he couldn’t raise them above his head.

 

Dave starts the lengthy process of opening a coconut for Gayla.  Jacob, the Liberian sitting next to me, said, “this is going to take a long time.”

 

Finally Gayla takes over the knife, opens the top and takes a dring.

 

A flat tire on the way to the airport.  How many people does it take to change a tire in Liberia?  Ten.  One to change the tire and the other 9 to keep him from getting run over by a car.

 

The Chinese are pouring money into Liberia.  They have done extensive work on the football (soccer) stadium.

 

There were at least 100 new block homes (several quite large) under construction on the road to the airport.

 

The classic “African” tree.
