The Drive

Here are some things I learned on Monday during the 10 hour drive north from Abidjan to Ferke.

1. I thought I knew what a pothole was. But boy was I wrong. This is a pothole-

        These ginormous pothole are the reason that what should be a 6 hour drive took almost 10 hours!  You have to go so slow most of the roads we took were filled with giant potholes like these one!

   2. Moto drivers are scary. 

       This is a moto. People who drive them zip in and out of cars and don't even look where they're going. I can't even tell you how many times we almost hit one!

3. Cote d'Ivoire is so so pretty!

    It is SO green here right now because they are in the rainy season. There are so many different types of trees, flowers and plants all over! 

4. There is diet coke in Cote d'Ivoire!!! 

     This is probably going to be my one and only diet coke I have here. I found in a gas station on our way up north and bought it! It was so good and really cheap!
