Not strange Hi everyone. The road is sure bad but people do get to where they are going no matter how long it takes. It is better than not having a road at all. Liberia is not a stranger to this. I think what President Bai and the people of Sierra Leone needs to do, is to to allocate more money and most of his presidential term to road construction. The next president will do some thing else.

Fourah Bay College I enjoyed your narrative of Sierra Leone. I was Dean of the Faculty of Economic and Social Studies and Chair of the Department of Political Science in the mid-1960s, on leave from George Washington University in Washington, D.C. My family and I enjoyed our experience, and I participated in the creation of the independent University of Sierra Leone.
Sarajevo-Bosnia and Herzegovina Thank you for the pictures of the most beautiful city in the world, my home city of Sarajevo. I miss it so much and liked your pictures.
questions Hi,
I am going to St. Martin next week and I stumbled across your photos during my research. Would you recommend the Golden Eagle Sail? Snorkeling at Creole Rock? Is there anything you wish you did or didn't do?
Thank you,
Elise
Thank you! Thank you for sharing your blog. My daughter is in 6th grade, Arlington, TX. She is doing a presentation on Sierra Leone, and printed a couple of your pictures to share with classmates. Thank you very much for posting this information!
Paramount airlines Good to see that you made the intrepid 7 minute journey on the helicopter......just wanted to tell you that Paramount is no longer flying as they had a crash in May 07 in which all died apart from 1 crew member...a total of 22 died....got the photos if you want them sending.
Airline Hi, I am an air stewardess and i am about to go on a trip to Sierra leone with my airline, Good to see some pictures and stories of what to expect down there. We go to quite a few places in Africa and the airline encourage us to take things such as pens and pencils for the children of these countries. So anyway thanks for an interesting read..Lydia
Very impressive pictures! Good to hear from you, Tim. I'm glad you finally got around to this, so we can see what you told us! It's even nicer than I imagined!
I did it too In August 2006 I did a road trip something like yours, from Vancouver to Hyder and return taking 2 weeks seeing the most spectacular scenery and experiencing things that I have never done before. I am from Australia. What a trip camping for 2 weeks in your beautiful country. Bears were initially a problem but we soon got over that. We stayed in provincial campsites and with friends of friends and boy oh boy what a time we had. Life is full of surprises. Happy travelling.
News of Alikalia Thanks so much for posting the pics, I was a PCV in Alikalia in the early 80s,it is mind boggling to see the ruined tank there. The road looks unchanged! Any more information on how people are doing there would be appreciated - did you see any fish ponds there, the last one we built was right on the main road into town.
Looks like you had a good time! Thanks for the birthday call, Tim-only a day late, but I heard the message on Saturday on Dad's cell. These are great pictures of your holiday--glad you had time to visit us, too. Did you find your cell phone?
