Here's some pictures of Sierra Leone. The trip was interesting. The people there have nothing. Extreme poverty looks pretty much the same in any country. The only difference in Sierra Leone was that the everyone you see is in poverty. You can't drive to the nice side of town. There isn't one. There are a few reach people, mostly foreigners, 95% of the Sierra Leonians live in shacks with no electricity, water, etc. The country side is beautiful. It's basically a rain forest climate with a rainy season and a dry season. We were there at the beginning of the rainy season.
Looking down Freetown from the embassy
About 1,000,000 people live in Freetown
The white building on the hill is a picture of the U.S. embassy. It's illegal to take a picture of it...at least the local police don't like it.
Waterfall (duh)
They have beautiful beaches.
One of the better paved roads
In town
