In Flanders Field and Logo Land

Monday November 11, 2013

Thinking of (papa) Alf on this date. While we lest not forget in the West, it’s forgotten if not completely unknown here. The date is meaningless.

Training travel continues; hotels I have known part X - Gabriella Guest House in Logo, Benue State.  It’s an utterly enthralling location quite literally down a rain sacked road, smack dab in the middle of a community of mud and thatched-roof houses. Unbelievably those thatched round houses have electricity while this guest inn does not. Room 112 has no running water.  No mirror. A giant TV that doesn’t work. And bug accoutrements for extra ambience. The mattress is comfy but my torso is itchy as all hell. The linens are fresh. But I think I’ll lay out mine just because.  Primitive
