Another visit to Yapleu
... ; at least that’s my explanation to my wife…). Then we said goodbye to everyone and started the 90-minute drive back to Man. We drove directly to the post office, so we could rent a PO Box for the use of the members here. The ...

An interesting day in Yapleu

Saturday in La Mé
This morning we left the hotel at 09:00 in a marginally better car than the day before. There were five of us in the car, Paul and me, one of Paul's sons and a woman who attends in Abidjan who wanted to fellowship with the people in La Mé. It took us an ...

Sabbath in Blolé
... days. All the could offer me was a sort of hamburger, which I accepted. As I ate, I watched the life in central Man. There is a constant traffic of vehicles and people in the muddy streets, and always something interesting to see. We spent the rest ...
Bridge...what bridge?
The road to the Cote D'Ivoire border was lined with a bamboo forest keeping us shaded and cool. We stopped in the last small town and were a bit perplexed as to what to spend our remaining Guinean francs on. Tim solved some of the problem by shouting the ...
Back in La Mé
Today we started early. Sunday's there is much less traffic than on weekdays, so Paul was able to get the car and drive and be at the hotel just shortly after 07:00. We put 6000 Francs of Diesel in the car at a filling station and while that was going ...
More village visits
... man. He showed me a prescription for something I couldn’t read; doctors’ handwriting is illegible in Côte d’Ivoire too. The Chief’s counselors were very positive toward us and also had come questions to ask, among them: ...
New family members in Man

Saturday in Man
... gave them some “homework” passages to study and concepts to think about, and told them I would see them again before I leave Man. By this time it was mid-afternoon, and the heat was so stifling it was hard to concentrate so we had to stop. We ...
Catch up and in interesting Bible Study
... by several billboards we passed, which were no doubt designed to show that things have returned to normal in Côte d’Ivoire. Things are now peaceful enough that they can engage in mindless and degrading American entertainment. Yes, you’ll be ...
Back to Abidjan

The long and winding road to Man, Cote d'Ivoire
... point we had to get out and walk a few kilometres through the jungle tracks. It was great to be walking here in the Cote d'Ivoire. And then finally we seemed to hit tarmac. Wow! A strange junction (the Commandant who insisted on speaking English ...
Visits to villages
... but right after my shower the water went off. The hotel manager later told me the water was off for the whole town of Man. There was a very large cockroach in the corner of the shower; I named him Franz. He didn’t scurry off just hunkered down, so ...
Brilliant day with Abou in Man

Yamoussoukro to Man
... for its construction out of his own very-well-lined pockets. It is strange to be driving through the dusty savannah of central Cote d’Ivoire and to see a dome the size of Saint Peter’s loom up out of the African bush. It costs the equivalent ...
Sipilou – Biankouma – Man
... liegt und dort unsere Pässe prüft, schon ein paar Bier zuviel hat. Wir machen uns schnell vom Acker und fahren nach Man, einem groteskeren Ort, der von wunderschön bewaldeten Bergen umgeben ist. Hotel Goma ist die erste Wahl und es gibt kaltes Bier und ...
Expedition to Yapleu

Rebel Territory
... . I couldn’t prove in a court of law that this kind of help comes in answer to prayer, but I’m convinced. We rolled into Man, about two hours later that we had planned, and late in the afternoon. Seussié Bleu met us along the side of the road ...
