Photo Gallery #53- Another Bongor
Visit, and Landscapes, Part I
On
my way up to N'Djamena and Darda to work at Pre-Service Training,
I stopped in Bongor for a couple nights, where I stayed with
Josh. One of his afternoon rituals is a walk on the banks
of the Logone River, and while I was there, I went along.

Josh
with Halala Joseph, one of the little boys who always
seems to find Josh when he's out walking.
|
Because
Bongor was a big base for the French during the colonial
days, ruins like this are scattered all along the riverbank. |
|
| |
This
must've been a mansion, or something. |
Random
pieces of infrastructure, like ancient water towers,
pop out of the strangest places.

While
we were walking, we met this man fishing, who insisted
we take his picture. |
As
well as this kid, who was simply trying to look weird,
I think. |
|
| |
I'm
not sure, but I guess it was a pretty special rock. |
'The
Face of Africa,' as Josh said. |
|
|
'Not
exactly the face of Africa,' as Nathaniel says. |

The forest on the banks of the river. |

the water's edge. |
