So, in the last month, we've renewed passports, applied for visas and purchased international airfare. Amazing provision to be able to do that so soon!
Here are just a few more pictures from our Guinea trip. This concluded our voyage around the West Africa this fall. 3 countries in 2 months, is enough to make anyone tired! Each place was so surprisingly different and that was fun to see and experience. It will, however, be nice to stay in Senegal for […]
