Room with a view

So here's a couple of pictures from my new place. The 'New Democrat' newspaper here has a pictorial feature every day that always finishes with 'this too is Liberia'. That kinda sums up my feelings around this apartment, it's kinda a little surreal...

Anyway - view from the ground.....


And the view from up my stairs. This one was taken on a Sunday morning and the beach was deserted, but most days and especially Friday and Saturday there's a lot of people down there. A weird mix of extremely white European UN guys in speedos, wheelbarrow salesmen and Liberian young people just hanging out and doing the things that young people do on the beach.
Incidentally you'd think with a sky looking like that I'd take a jacket with me to church huh? Yup me too.
