Gabon 37/ Eat your heart out Naomi Campbell. This lady, well over six feet tall, moved with the most amazing grace. She was a little shy though and never spoke to me except on the day I left when she said the only three words she ever said to me. "All the best."

She appears again as the woman in the background holding her hands together in this picture.

I never came to understand how to take pictures in Gabon. Sometimes even vendors whom I had purchased things from would not allow me to photograph them. Other times people would ask me to take pictures of them. If I asked a woman whom I had known for longer than a day to take a picture with me, she would always wrap her arms around me for the photograph. I liked it.
