Yesterday Freya, Banke, Alex and I hired a taxi to have a tour of Freetown to take some snaps (Krio word for photos!). Banke had found some old snaps from the 1960s and we tried to find these places and replicate the pictures. Well, wi don try (we did try). Alas many of the places are no longer here. Or at least, when we asked people if they recognised the places, many did not know where they were or had not heard of them. Life expectancy is under 40 here so it was not surprising really that people had no idea what we were looking for.We did however find some of the spots and also visited the Sierra Leone Peace and Cultural Monument (and, with any luck, I’ll upload some of the snaps, and others showing what Freetown is like in general).
