The City Latrine

This morning Elder Woodward and I went down to find a lighthouse we had read about. Along the way we saw both the "sky scrapers" I had read about (it really did look like a modern city) and what I have termed the city latrine. It used to be a British harbor, the deepest in West Africa so I am told. As you can see from the pictures it has become a slum. Ironically the British named the place Jamestown, just like in Virginia. This economic venture however has turned out disastrously worse. Unlike the Chesapeake, this area stinks of sewage and fish. The people were friendly, and some of the children screamed for us to take their picture, which of course we did. I wish I could tell you more about it, but I just don't know. In the picture below in which Elder Woodward is walking away from me, you can see the prison in the center of the picture. Well, I don't have much time to elaborate today. Hope you like the pictures. Love ya,

Jeff
