Our Epic Roadtrip

These are some pictures of our road trip to Burkina Faso. Here we go:

This is our guide, Jacobo. I liked his gun.

Wahrt-hogs (Warthogs)

millipede - 9 inches long!

this is a dead cobra - Black Mamba's are in this National Park

This is a red monkey - I like them, a lot!

This is a LONG drive - boorrring, sometimes.

This is a goat on top of a tro-tro (a crammed taxi-van that they pack with people, & occasionally animals, for long distance)

a green monkey - also one of my favorites because of their size. It's a good size. I like sizes.

Dis warhthog is 'Pumba'.

These are cool birds

a running green monkey

This is a Kob - a type of antelope.

Baboon - I like this guy

I like this guy even more. He knocked on our door and woke me up in the morning. He even tried to open the door.

This baboon is in egg-cracking position for the trampoline.

This is an awesome picture of a family of baboons.

Just chillin' - doesn't look to comfy, though.

another Kob

another red monkey - a mama.

a kid Kob

these are rare birds, well, in my lifetime they are rare.

Explorers

This is a bridge crossing - but we couldn't really cross until they put it all back together. We gave them bananas and groundnuts (peanuts) to thank them.

This is the first picture of the monkey sanctuary.

A mona monkey inspecting our car - actually he was looking for food, and seeing if the doors were unlocked.

"Really? Another banana? Why not an apple? Sheesh."

A black colobus monkey - they are very shy and prefer to stay high up in trees and eat leaves only - no bananas.

another black colobus - sleeping

me in a giant ficus tree (it was hollow on the inside and perfect for climbing!)

"Look to the Future!"

Dis is me feeding a monkey - they grab the bananas right out your hand. Sometimes they even jump on you trying to sneak bananas out of your grasp.

I now own a machete AND a sling shot! Game On!

Pumpkins! Just in time for Halloween. They have pumpkins in Burkina, but not in Ghana! Go figure.

It's already bursting at the seams, and they're piling more stuff and people in and on!

Bikes - over 600 piled on this truck.
