Hard To Love

Luckily the dry season is here, so we are spared the mud. It's sandy now, and we could actually use some rain. The city really needs a cleanup program, but there is no place to put the trash. And in a country where everything is imported, the packaging abounds and there is not an organized trash pickup service or landfills, except if you count everywhere. The plastic bags are the biggest culprit. I hope something can be done to improve the sanitation problems here for health and hygiene as well as appearance.

Here are some pictures of markets and roads here in Brazzaville, for someone who who normally enjoys poking around in markets, this is pushing it for me.. I continue to go to to these places sometimes as there is always something interesting to see in spite of the difficulties in trying to feel the love. There is no drainage provision in this city of torrential rains. Protective footwear here is a must!
