Life in Lagos, Nigeria & Our Travels

Bob and I moved to Lagos, Nigeria in April 2007. This blog basically covers what we do in our time outside of work and is meant to keep family and friends updated on our activites and travels. We are having a great time and I think we are making the most of living in Nigeria. DISCLAIMER: This blog is not meant to be a comprehensive summary of all Nigeria has to offer. I may have different interests than you and therefore may not post on topics or places that you might like to see.

Osogbo & Idanre

While I was in Paris, Bob and some friends (Sharon, Jonathan, Dan, Lynn, Ilsa & Rob) went to Idanre and Osogbo, both places I have been in Nigeria while Bob was in Houston on business. I never posted on Osogbo but I did post on Idanre. Nigerian Field Society trips frequent these sights. See posts on Osogbo20081 and Osogbo20082 (the trip I was on and I am pictured here) and Idanre 2008 and Idanre 2009 (I was on this trip).

This trip occurred over a 4 day weekend and included 1) Day 1 - a walk around the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Osogbo's "Sacred Groves", 2) Day 2 - a hike to three waterfalls, 3) Day 3 - a tour of a cocoa factory followed by a hike in Idanre, and 4) Day 4 - hit the road and head back to Lagos.
