    Victoria Park located in downtown Freetown will give any traveler a chance to see what local crafts and things there are to buy in Sierra Leone.

    What To Buy: I've purchased wooden masks and carvings done by local artists. I've also picked up African clothes done in Gara tie-dye and the locally woven "country cloth". A batik cloth painting or dress is also a good choice.

    What To Pay: Prices vary there is the Porto Price (white man price) and the local price. I always go with a local to get the best price

     I love your pictures and comments. After all that has happened it is wonderful to see your beautiful pictures and to read your comments. You've inspired me to consider taking a trip there myself. Thank you    		Sobha Fri May 28, 2004 08:47 UTC
