A couple of other girls and I ventured off the ship to try our hand at hailing a taxi! Once they stop the first thing you do is haggle a price. We ended up settling on $6 (that was a little high). We wanted to go to a restaurant that we had heard of that was on the beach. So we told him the name and "yeah, yeah, I know where that is." But after driving for 15-20
mins he ended up stopping some men on the side of the road to ask directions! Good thing too, we were headed the opposite way. So, I guess we got a little
unofficial tour of Monrovia:)
The traffic is crazy, crazy! While driving, the taxi driver tells us that he has a 6 year old daughter and asks could we please take her to America with us. That gives us alittle clue at how live is for them if they're willing to hand their children to strangers inorder to give them a better life...
Some pictures I snapped out the car window while on our "
Unofficial tour of Monrovia"
We DID end up at the right restaurant. I'm glad we did because I was getting hungry;)
