The pictures are posted and captioned! Here's the deal - I left my compound and walked toward the Atlantic Ocean, wandered through the communities that live near the coast, looped past the fishing beach, headed back toward the main road (runs out to the airport and Firestone's rubber plantation), walked the road toward the Junction and then turned around and walked back to my compound. The scenery is truly amazing (I lucked out and the lighting was even more incredible than usual the day I took the pictures) and I'm still struck by how green the green is in Liberia! It's such a fertile country and the vegetation is lush and beautiful - if only there wasn't trash strewn everywhere and crumbling buildings that families have been forced to turn into homes. Oh Mama Africa!
Let me know if you have questions. I also added a few more pictures to my original Liberia album so get in there too! Use the link below or the one on the right side like before.

My dear friend Em (who is blushing right now) recently shared info about my volunteering/blogging with her friends and family and the positive results were two-fold: more people are tuning in to learn about life in another country and culture AND more donations came my way to help sustain my volunteer efforts! Wanna be cool like Em? Spread the word.
Any money donated will go directly to my volunteer efforts to help cover daily living expenses and malaria prevention meds. Donations are totally secure (through PayPal) and the donation amount is up to you. Just click on the "Make a Donation" button below to be taken to PayPal's website.Peace in Liberia! -abbe

"For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. This perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment you have and remember that time waits for no one. Happiness is a journey, not a destination..."

Your pictures were great. Thanks for taking them all. Sort of made me want to get my haircut in that place, make cement blocks, and poop on rocks. (Kyle and I tried to identify some poop, to no avail - I wish you had caught people in action.)
Ocean pics were beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
