Marshall

Before I talk about Marshall...anyone who is interested in contributing to the ELWA Academy project can contact my parents. They have volunteered to be the contact on the project. If you do not have their phone or email you can comment on this post and I'll send it to you. We are doing a little more research on the computer project but should have more information on that portion of the project soon...

We visited a small fishing village called Marshall this weekend. It is about 45 minutes away, with the last half down a dirt road. Here are a few pictures from the trip.


We spotted one of the largest termite mounts we've seen yet. It encases a small palm tree.


In Marshall they had a couple huge Cotton trees. Kobe and Colton are checking out all the bugs that were around the base of the tree.

Here's a picture of the waterfront in Marshall. It sits on a large lagoon that gives them shelter from the Atlantic. Of course, the first thing the boys saw when I was taking this picture was the sign on the tree...

You see signs like this all over the place. The boys saw one in town last week they really liked too, it said "only dogs peepee here".

Our first monkey we've seen in Africa! This one was tied to a bench outside someone's house. They were laughing at us for taking a picture of it. I suppose it was kinda like the Japanese exchange students we used to laugh at in Washington for wanting their picture taken with a cow.

This one is a little hard to see, and needs a little background explained. Driving around in Liberia can be pretty challenging. Besides the crazy driving in general, there are almost no street signs. So when we were driving down the dirt road to Marshall and came across this "Frederick Drive" sign we had to stop and take a picture. One of the only street signs...and it is only a foot trail.
