Some more pictures from DRC

I first picked up this trusty backpack in college. It has traveled over 100,000 miles with me.

Here is a typical chair you might find all over central and east Africa. Just as common are plastic chairs about the same size.

The window in my guestroom in Gemena.

Here is an interesting looking chair in Gemena.

Some form of palm tree.

This little spiders nest is just one of many that cover the ground every morning. The morning dew makes them stand out and glisten with the sunrise.

Blake's dog. One of the luckiest dogs in DRC. Most dogs I know in Africa are beaten and downright scared of humans. They are flee ridden and ugly. This one gets love and is kept clean and healthy.

These bushes are really neat. The light shines through the leaves and allows them to gleam or shimmer a little.


This flower is similar to some I knew in South Sudan. Might be the same, but they are quite pretty all the same.


This is a series of covered gardens with all sorts of plants below.

The side of the guest house in Gemena.

One of the tiles in the guest house.

Here is a path leading to the well. I went there to get some water on a few occasions.

Here is a fixer upper. A little grease, some shinning and think of the possibilities.

Here is our morning tea.

Blake and Lindsey's house helper. I apologize because I forget his name.

Chickens are all over the place. On several occasions I heard yelling as people chased of chicken hawks.
