A couple more pictures while we wait


A picture of the nice river valley we cross on the way to the ETU, taken when I walked to work with a colleague on my last day shift. It's so nice to be in a tropical country where there is plenty of water! We're almost at the end of the dry season, and the rivers are still pretty full (driving to Freetown, you cross one as plump and flush as, say, the Connecticut). This valley is a place where you see many people bathing, washing clothes, swimming, on any given day. The Chinese are building a small hydroelectric dam just upstream - they stopped during the height of the epidemic, but are back now - so it all may change soon. Ah, progress.... (Sorry about the grayish tones - it was morning, but also, the Harmattan wind bringing dust off the Sahara, and the incredible, constant humidity, make the air kind of grey-brown and hazy pretty much all the time.)


And here I am in my PIH-style PPE, on my second-to-last shift!

More soon....
