The Country

Taking a break from "my favorites" to show some scenery. Sunday afternoons were times for us to go out for a drive to see more of the city.

Here's some random shots from around town.

A bus stop.

This is the road I lived on. It was hard to find at night because there's no lights to see where the road actually is. Our driver missed it a few times.

Here's the not-so-pretty side of town...the not-yet-rebuilt side. Sunday afternoon the streets were empty, but during the week...yikes. Lots of people.

In this part of town, you can still see the marks of years and years of conflicts on the buildings...

...and on the streets. In the last couple years, the major "highways" have started to get redone.

We went to a soccer game one Sunday afternoon in the not-so-pretty side of town. This stadium is a place where people would gather to pr. for peace during the unrest.

Not a ton of people in the stands.

The two teams were both local. One team was made up of members of the church we went to on Sundays.

These are the buildings we looked at if we looked out beyond the stadium.

You can see there's still a lot of rebuilding to be done.

Here's the ocean. Friends have told me that the beaches have just been cleaned up in the last couple years...they used to be really trashed. Literally.

So beautiful!

Next time...more of my favorites! :)
