Welcome to Abidjan

This--the tarmac outside Abidjan's Felix Houphouet-Boigney International Airport--is the closest we'll get to a nostalgia tour of Cote d'Ivoire for the time being.

And the stewardess says, "Welcome to Abidjan."

A lot has changed in the seven years since I was a Peace Corps volunteer building latrines at elementary schools.

No news from Soubré in ages. I can't imagine what life has been like the last couple years for Lambert, the mason I worked with, and my colleagues at the Public Works department.
