Libreville, Gabon

Libreville, Gabon The only reason we are going to Libreville is to get our Cameroon visas.  Since we are going to be there though, it will also give us a chance to stock up on some supplies and patch our flat tire. Bush meat: the closer we got to Libreville, the more we saw it along the side of the road.  Monkeys and duikers were the most common delicacies available for sale. It is always nice to feel like a rock star, especially when your fans are so shocked to see you. Here is another hardworking woman.  Meanwhile, the men sit in the shade drinking beer while discussing the future of politics and life. We found a tire center that could patch and balance our flat.  He never managed to get it just right though. Here is the local market with its selection of fresh fish, which was mostly barracuda that day. It is not as nice as the US Capital but their senate building still has a refreshingly clean layout to it. Then there was the shopping center.  If you were willing to pay for it, you could buy anything you wanted there.  The foie gras tempted us but at $100 per pound, we decided to stick with frozen chicken instead. Luckily, we were able to pick up our visas the same day and it only cost us $120 each!  Before leaving for Cape Esterias tomorrow, Libreville enchanted us enough to spend a another day here eating and walking around the promenade area.
