Kente – Fishing the Niger

COUNTRY:
Kente

DETAILS:
My wife’s good friend Leslie has a remarkable daughter named Kate who served in the Peace Corp in Africa. This gave her a chance to travel around the continent.  When I heard she was going to Timbuktu I got all excited and did up 2 pigeons for her which she graciously took along.  This is the first one she released somewhere along the Niger River.  Interesting juxtaposition of a slow one man primitive canoe vs. a fast large aluminum plane carrying many people.  Etats-Unis d’Amerique is French for U.S.A.

MAILED:
by Kate Guelker- Cone ( Abbott ) in Guinea West Africa in 2002.
