A couple of photos from the mountain treks over the christmas weekend. Now I'm in San Pedro (2nd biggest port in RCI) and back in my research job. The theme of today: General Desinformation. This really is the only thing that keeps this crazy system running.
bimbrownicy!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
these machines were the best christmas present Cote d'Ivoire could offer me!! in the coffee-growing country instant nescafe is still what you usually get, unless you find a lebanese place. but here... a really good coffee - even better, cause fully ivoirian (grown, transformed and packaged here - L'Or Brun)!! no wonder Adam, the bar tender (on the right) is called here 'Le Roi' (the king). everyone, whenever they can, pop in here for a quick espresso. possible also for take away - in little plastic bags :)
Daniele, Clemence and a pig that was a much more efficient guardian of the tv antenae than the cute, shy dog, whose job it seems to be.
the view.... lucky lucky caotchouc (latex??????? what is it in English) (they own the house). There is more and more of them. Apparently it pays better than cocoa. Some people even say that if cocoa prices don't go up, people will simply stop growing it and then the chocolate will become a real luxury.
liberia? hard to see during the period when Harmattan blows (too much dust from Sahara, apparently)
Clemence! (and a proof I really am still alive)
