No Excuses (OK maybe one)

OK, I have to first begin by saying I have absolutely no excuse for not updating my blog for two months. My wife puts me to shame in this regard (although in a lame attempt to defend myself, she does have a little more time on her hands than I do) and now even my brother has started blogging. So just to get things going again I will share some fun pictures with you. These are a couple of pictures taken while driving through Victoria Island (Lagos).

I'm not sure exactly what happened in the time before I snapped this picture, but what I do know is that it must have been a heck of a ride.



Considering the missing driver's side front tire, I would almost have to guess that it fell off while the vehicle was moving, but this is just a guess. It also looks like they narrowly avoided crashing into the wall, again I will say, it must have been a heck of a ride.

Shave and a haircut, two bits

I have been needing a haircut lately.....I wonder how much this guy charges.



In this picture you can see the hand clippers that he is using to cut the man's hair.



For an American this event looks strange, but this is a very commonplace thing here.

As I said in my last post, I do have other pictures I need to post....maybe this time I will actually get them on here before another 60 days pass.
