My sister Kristen and I just returned from the Ivory Coast. I thought I’d start the blog entries with a little photo show from the digital camera. (I’ll post the pictures from the 35mm cameras when the pics are developed and scanned.)


Our armored SUV motorcade

low (no?) income housing

boat on the beach (grand-bassam)
people staring at me
waiting in a line to be fleeced by the corrupt police

Kristen, a rubber tree, and me
that lady has eggs on her head
crocs in moat outside presidential palace
