Green. Yes it is very green here and palm trees line the roads. We can see the Atlantic washing up on a lonely beach with a thin sand bar from the tree line down to the water. The buildings have the look of intermediate construction and mixed design; some construction is made with cinder blocks and concrete, some construction is thatched roofing and mud walls, some construction uses tin corrugated sheet metal roofing and several buildings are simply not yet finished.

The land is mostly flat and forested so if you can get on to a balcony the view is spectacular. One paved highway with many dirt roads leading off from it. The roads are filled with cars and small motorcycles. The motorcycles are used as one-seat taxis and their name is onomatopoeia for the sound of a horn beeping. “Peh-peh” The sound of a small annoying car horn beeping twice, “peh-peeeeeeeh!” The vowel is a long schwa sound. Some of the Peh-peh drivers wear helmets and some do not.

There are white UN SUVs all over the place.
