The day before we left, we visited the "Central Park" of Ouagadougou. It was really beautiful. There were trails through dense trees and flowers. We also saw some wildlife, including giant bats and a huge centipede of some sort.
This man was one of the few other people we saw walking through the park.
These two ladies are our heroes. They have sacrificed the conveniences of America to devote themselves to helping children and families in Burkina. They took us where we needed to be, arranged all of our necessary appointments and even cooked for us. We can't thank them enough!
Another gecko, waiting next to the pool for any food we might drop, or perhaps waiting for the flies that were swarming our lunch :)
Our final day in Africa would not have been complete without breaking down in the middle of the road. Thankfully we were able to pull off to the side while we waited for the mechanic. It was an opportunity to capture some great pictures.
