This is the start of

This is the start of my last day here. I fly out shortly after midnight tonight. The staff of the Mission here are all wonderful people and I look forward to working with them again at any time. Still, I’d never vacation in Nigeria.

People have asked if I took a lot of pictures. Well, no. There’s nothing to take pictures of. Honestly. Aside from the obligatory thached roof hut and cattle, most of the country is dirt poor. That’s the thing about this place — it is all extremes. The poor are very poor and the rich are very rich. There’s no middle ground. I saw both and neither are things I really want to memorialize on film. I’ll always be able to close my eyes and see the poor.
