We took the day off today to relax, and we were very successful in doing that ! It rained all day, hard at times, so a trip to the beach really wasn't in the cards. In the morning we watched some of the September 11 commemoration on CNN; I am still amazed by the bravery of the firefighters and other first responders who were involved in that.
Around noon Moses came to pick us up, and we drove out to the other side of Monrovia past Redemption Hospital and the street market to visit Jonathan's aunt who is here working for the UN. She is living in a lovely new apartment in a very nice complex, apparently built by a Nigerian fellow who also runs the Monrovia Brewing Company !
After leaving there we took a short tour of Monrovia to show Deirdre and Daniel some of the sights including Mamba Point and Capitol Hill. Since it was raining, it was a short tour...We then went to Sajj for a lunch of pita and hummus followed by chicken bread for all of us. I think Deirdre and Daniel understood why I raved about the food !
After lunch we came back for a nap, and then watched a variety of sports on TV prior to retiring for the night. If past experience is any guide, we will have another busy week coming up !
