Kindia

I've realized that it has been a little while since I posted. I am excited to share some photos from a recent weekend off the ship. Several friends and I traveled to Kindia for two nights which is about a four hour drive from the ship with traffic. It was an amazing weekend enjoying the beauty of Guinea's countryside, walking through local villages, and visiting the market in Kindia. As always, I loved the opportunity to experience the day to day lives of people who represent many of the patients we see on the ship.
 
Here are a few pictures to tell the story of our adventures in Kindia:
 
"Le Voile de Mariee" translated the Bride's Veil Waterfall

We enjoyed the cool shade from the trees and the loud
roar of the falls on our first day in Kindia.
 
The Bamboo "forest" nearby the waterfalls!
 
We've been friends ever since we all arrived on the ship the same day!

Balancing Act: What talent! They start at an early age.
