January 25th
Location: Monrovia
Today I traveled…for some reason I cannot get over the beauty of the scenery upcountry…the red roads…the mist that only goes about a 1/3 of the way up the trees…the children building mud castles along the side of the road…I love it all…waiting for my flight in a completely gutted, roofless cement structure… in lawn chairs with UN peacekeepers…watching the UN unload rice bags packed with US dollars off the plane and into a vehicle for the local bank…flying in a helicopter…I love it all.
This image seems so bittersweet. The fact that the world helps each other out is great but how sad that there still needs to be hand outs.
