(When slaves would try to escape or revolt they were forced to sit on the rock and their hands and legs were chained around the bottom, then they were beaten and left in the sun to die)
(Grave sites where the slave masters would bury about 4 people at a time, a few metres from the Punishment Rock)
(This is the view from the lookout rock at the Pikworo Slave Camp. It's where the slave masters used to stay perched to spot anyone from attempting to escape)
(This is behind my compund where I relax from time to time under the tree and converse with an old man named Alagi Baba Mamudu - probably spelled his name wrong)
(The weight bench at my compound. I lifted some weights with some of the guys at the compound the other night, they got a kick out of me lifting for they are pretty built)
Ok so for those of you who haven't struggled with internet overseas, I hope you enjoy these pics as they took a long time to upload - over 5mins per pic, I've been on the net for almost 3 hours. I'll keep them coming though, and once I get to know people a little better and get settled in more I'll get some people pics.
sweet pics!
ReplyDeletethanks for the patience to post them! I totally know how frustrating that can be..
But it is really helpful to have a visual!
