Plane reservations for myself and my middle son, Josiah, to Freetown Sierra Leone by the client's desired date of December 1st ended up taking my son and I through London and Paris with long layovers at each. We had sometime to do mini-tours of each town. In London, we were joined by a Brazilian gal named Anna, who was taking English classes from Josiah last year, but is in London studying for a masters in architecture this year. The three of us had a very nice later afternoon and early evening.
The next day we had a similar layover in Paris, but no Brazilian English student during this visit. As in London, Josiah and I made the most of our long layover and were able to see some of the major attractions.
We met Matthew Moeckel at the Paris airport on the morning of our departure for Freetown. Matthew is a recent architecture graduate, who joined us on this trip to see what architectural missionary work might look like.
The thing that struck me, as we drove into downtown Freetown the day after our arrival, was the contrast between a typical street in central London, central Paris, and central Freetown. The pictures below speak for themselves.
