A Beautiful Place.

A place in the sun...bright and shining from early morn. Ebony tones everywhere..colorful garments lend an air of festivity....hustle and bustle everywhere. Streets...bands of steel meander through the city tall buildings ...cast grotesque shadows along the roads as trees bow in homage to the new day. People rushing by...insects trapped in an invisible jar laughing, singing....white teeth flashing. Aromatic scents of herbs and spices emanate from side walk cafes to tease the senses. Side walk hawkers...fried fish, fried chicken, fried cassava tittilate the senses... tempt the taste buds. Taxis rush at a mad pace oblivious to potholes all the way. Wildlife a-plenty ....... from lions to giraffes a colorful scene ....a feast to the eyes. Flamingoes on the lake.. fiery pink compete with brilliant sunsets, a world seen behind rose tinted shades. Even the soil.....red as ochre, black as coal, white as the beaches a variety of colors throughout the land. Tea and coffee plantations..a delightful view in a beautiful land , I once knew where suffering, hardship, joy and laughter embrace each other,
