Happy New Month! This image is December in our 2021 calendar: Sierra Leone has gorgeous white sand beaches lining the coast. We visited River No 2 Beach, south of the capital city of Freetown, where Fazineh and Aïssatou took the local boat taxi at the location where the river flows into the Atlantic Ocean. Tourism and small businesses are run by the local community. We purchased many hand-made items including backpacks, purses, clothing, and jewelry.

Happy New Month! This image is November in our 2021 calendar: Sweet, sweet Cassava Leaf oh! Some people argue that Cassava Leaf is the signature dish of Sierra Leone. Super tasty, super delicious and nutritious, every region has their own version of the traditional recipe, which is a staple meal across Sierra Leone. Arinyamin ~ come leh we eat. (Let’s eat! In Fula & Krio) We visited our niece and nephew Mamusu & Saidu, at their school Ahmadiyya Secondary in Kabala. Then we went home for dinner. Cassava Leaf time is the best time!
