After our nearly 11 hour trip to Kono, we encouraged Abu to stop for a stretch break about every 2 to 3 hours. When driving on the Bone Shaker road (we misunderstood and thought they said Bun Shaker ... And that one describes it completely) stops along the roadside provided opportunities to get acquainted with the village people. Our cameras are a big attraction. Click and let the kids see what appears is the MO. Carol was the "click and show" at a fruit stand. Kids loved seeing themselves.
Abu keeps us hydrated knowing where to by water. However, getting to understand Abu means one has to have a new definition for the word ALMOST. That is always the answer to "are we there yet?" We have arrived at our destination any where between one hour and four hours after.
Carol, you are looking good! Hope you are having a great time and I can't wait to hear first hand about your trip.

I love how the concept of 'are we there yet?' has become even more real on that trip to Kono! God bless your driver Abu! That is a long road trip after a long journey and appreciation for US roadways looking at the mud/clay like path you traveled on...wow, this is pretty amazing and pushes my gratitude up higher to thank God for keeping you all in good spirits. Praying from NYC in unity with this Ubuntu group. God bless you!
