The Sights and Smells of Africa


A note about the look and feel of Africa. I will never complain about the air quality in Atlanta again. It's like you picked-up a 2 pack a day habit coming here. Most trash is burned and I don't think most cars are passing Georgia emissions. Africa sort of looks how you think it would, but two things strike you. The first is the unique smell which sort of smells like a mixture of mud and fire. The second is the joy of the people. I was struck at the orphanage that even in a place like that with no parents in Africa, the kids made pictures that said, "God is Good."
