leaving customs, headed to border
passing through cashew farms
you know you'll get wet
never drive through the middle
no idea how deep they are
or what's at the bottom
there are usually multiple paths
take your time, choose wisely
and hope
big wasp's nest
corrupt Guinea border official
after much struggle, leaving Guinea
this is the Cote D'Ivoire border control
it's completely empty
made with the help of Japan
no office, no passport stamp
the next police checkpoint, no stamp
more cashew farms
no immigration office in sight
this frontier road is empty
mostly empty roads
finally found a police stop to get stamped
first village and real food in two days
fried banana
local kids
hand wash much needed
pretty exhausted physically
eat with hands
then the rains came
