Days 88-108

And on to West Central Africa! Wow, here we are several months and and we're not even half-way done! It's amazing how we'll go from mud huts and rainforests in one day to skyscrapers and big cities the next.

One of the things I'm looking forward to is the mix of all the different languages; all the ones I do not know and the few I do! A large portion of West Africa speaks French and I'll be able to put my four years of high school French to the test ;-) Maybe my couple years of German too. And I'll use some of the very little Pidgin English I know while in Nigeria. No wahala!
