This is pretty neat. There's an adventure travel company I used once, G Adventures and they're doing something similar, but via Zoom I think.

DAMN I can't wait to travel again!

I have a death mask from Gbarnga, Liberia sent to me about 50 years ago by a friend who was in the Peace Corps. I've been told by people in the know that it is significant and that I should take it to the Africa Studies Department at USC or UCLA to be appraised. I never did. The next time I see Joy I'll have to talk to about Africa travel.
