Feb 14 - No Valentines in Guinea!

No Valentine's Day in Guinea - but I wore red anyway.  Just a little touch of American life!  Have been quite busy recently.  Decided my life would be better with a motorbike so I had a friend show me the inner workings of the biggest outdoor market in Conakry and I bought a 70cc scooter.  Already great fun and saves a LOT of hot walking.  I have to be careful with it though, every time I slow down it seems like someone hops on the back for a ride!

Had a fascinating trip into Kindia to visit a "bush village" and learn some new Guinean rhythms.  Very interesting trip.  I even survived the village toilet system.
