Good bye and good luck

So here I am, the last one remained, to turn the page of Liberia and of this blog. Next time one of us will write, we will probably be all in different places, and nobody in Liberia anymore, where Stuck in the Mud started.
It was already a little bit weird for me to be a "surviver" in our house without you, so it's now with some nostalgia but at the same time enthusiasm that I also say good bye.
Personally, I will always be a little bit "stuck in the mud", and who knows, maybe I will also find myself physically stuck again in a muddy incredible road, waiting for a recovery truck to pull me out...I hope you will be there again, in another mission life, better if you are driving the recovery truck!
For the moment, good bye and good luck....

Goree Island -Dakar


Interestingly, my trip to Dakar was full for surprises. First time I went I never thought Dakar could be that beautiful and fun place to be. The Goree island is a beautiful place, reflecting Portuguese architecture, but at the same time the Island beauty has a very cruel and depressing history of Slave trade.
