Group run

I've been running a couple times a week here and recently ran into a group of runners who invited me to the weekly meeting of the Hash House Harriers. This page gives a good overview of who they are, but basically it's a very informal running club with chapters all over the world. (If they've got a presence in Freetown then you know they're pretty well global.)

It was nice to run with a big group. There was terminology and customs to

learn, as well as a couple songs. I'm looking forward to meeting up again next week.

This is entirely unrelated, but here's a picture from the edge of the Kroo Town slum near downtown. I was trying to get a shot of the water's edge and the buildings of downtown in the background. Now it just looks like a picture of trash. This area will flood to ankle-level when the rains come, as the shacks in this area have all been built in the floodplain of a river. Apparently the government has told people to relocate, but there isn't ample support/will to make that happen.
