A Few Pictures from Burkina Faso
Justina and I drove up to Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso and back on a five-day weekend in May 2002. If you're ever considering doing this trip in five days, here’s my advice: take six. It's a long drive.
These two pictures were taken near Banfora, in south-western Burkina. It's a lovely area, and the mangoes were in season and hanging off the trees by the hundreds.
Ouagadougou itself was rather underwhelming. Granted, this picture was taken on the outskirts of town, but still: can this really be the nation's capital?
Driving in Ouagadougou is a bit tricky as bicycles and mopeds greatly outnumber cars. We noticed this in Togo and Benin, too.
We also went to Finlande.
