There is a saying in Africa... TIA which means

There is a saying in Africa... TIA which means "this is Africa”, there is always room for one more.

Traveling to Laya Sando Guinea we stopped for lunch at a unnamed village (Not on a map), this village helped change my perspective of life. When our truck stopped, children of all ages and sizes came running to surround us. When we got off the truck the children reached out and touched us, they were giggling, laughing and their excitement were infectious. As it turned out we were the first white person they have ever seen.

Crossing into Cote d'Ivoire was an adventure in itself. Our destination was Man, a mere 60 km away. Unfortunately, we were only able to travel 5 km an hour do to washout or broken bridges, and nonexistent roads.
