Beautiful children populate the traveler's world. | School watching folk dancing, Morelia, Mexico |
They are curious, friendly, shy, smart, excited and generally represent hope. But they can also be fearful, hateful, unhappy, cruel, immoral and desperate. If you have not seen both, you are travelling with your eyes closed. Fortunately the first characterization is what is most commonly seen even among children living in very poor conditions. I am not sure that I have any pictures of children demonstrating the second characterization, but this does not mean that their images are not burned into my soul. When I find pleasure in seeing children of the first type, it is partly because I am aware that not all children have this chance. I never blame the children. |

Bob, Really enjoyed your account of your return trip to Liberia. Some parallels with my own experience - I met my wife whilst teaching in Botswana back in the 80s. We've yet to return there though. Thanks for some superb insights, Mike | besbel Tue Aug 25, 2009 01:25 UTC
