Cacheu...

The all family and its guests

The pot were the slaves used to eat

The old crhistian church

Marco's house

Sometimes you just need to move around... Put a small bag in your back and get lost in another place with new people. This was my idea for the last weekend of January. The destination: Cacheu. Located in the north of Guinea is the capital of its sector. Waiting for us a european companion on this journeys for Africa.

Marco is economist, has been working many years in Africa, was director of African National Bank, likes to read, listen good music and talk. His curiosity for life is huge and is quitness conquers you at first sight. He lives in a small round house, among one beautiful guinean family. They take care of each other in harmony.

Cacheu is a city, according to the usual ones that i've met here. Althought it has national monuments like the Baluarte, small fortification builted by the portuguese, the pot were the slaves used to eat and the oldest christian church in West Africa.

The weekend was full of new things, long walks in the sand and, curious detail, reading the new book of Saramago.

Sabi!
