Happy 50th anniversary Peace Corps!
December 30, 2011
Happy 50th anniversary Peace Corps! We had our Liberian celebration in Lofa back in November.
We visited Bozewan where a Peace Corps Volunteer from the early years in burried at her school. The reception and hospitality were overwhelming. Krista and I spent the night in the village of Medina about two miles off the road. Muhammed welcomed us like family and give us his own bed to sleep in.
Since a picture is better than a thousand words, I thought it would be appropriate to post my 50 favorite pictures for you here. Enjoy!
-
- JB climbed on Krista’s lap and hardly left her side the rest of the trip.
-
- The children of Medina gather to welcome us.
-
- The view from our room in Mohammed’s house.
-
- There was heavy rain during the night and the jeep got stuck trying to take us back to Bozewan. Everyone out!
-
- The ladies line up with the sasas, dry gourds covered with beads.
-
- Vice is presented with a white chicken and some palm wine.
-
- The primary school kids from one of the villages sings for us.
-
- This cutie sat in my lap most of the three hour ceremony. Almost took her home (I think that’s what her dad was hoping would happen!)
-
- Lofa county out the bus window. Nice, but Nimba still wins best, most gorgeous county.
-
- Blama rode over from the village with me and followed me around all day. What a goober.
