We are having a lovely time at Lakka Beach, south of Freetown.
No turkey and stuffing this year. We dined on deliciously fresh crab, lobster, and bonita fish...
All caught a few hours before we sat down to eat...
On Boxing Day, the quiet beach came alive with music, dancing, football, and lots of kids running around and playing in the waves. It is an annual ritual: Families and friends congregate on the beach for a charmingly festive afternoon of fun fueled by home-cooked food and a few drinks.
We made some friends...
They would like some books and pens. Alpha, a 5-yr old basket seller (in the red top), said he could really use a pencil sharpener. Unable to grant him his wish, we bought 3 baskets and shared our fruit cake. On our next visit, we'll stuff a stocking with school supplies.
