I visited Liz in Niger, and took a lot of pictures

This is Liz' dad again. In February I finally took the plunge and visited Liz in Niger. Travel options were limited, but fortunately Air France flies from Paris directly to Niamey, the capital of Niger, four times a week.

I'll be editing this post to include more details of the trip soon, but for now, I just wanted to let you know where you can see pictures from my trip. I took over 400 photos, so for now I've just posted pictures from the first two days of my trip, when I stayed with Liz in her village. You can find these on my Photobucket picture pages. Here's a link to the Slideshow view, which is the easiest way to browse through the pictures. Since I've written up some long descriptions, you may want to change the speed to SLOW using the controls at the bottom of the page, or just hit the Pause button at the bottom left and advance each picture manually, either by clicking on the picture or the right-facing triangle to the right of the picture. Most of the photos I have uploaded are larger than screen size, so if you want to zoom in on the pictures to get more detail, you can use the Album View and advance each picture by clicking on the rightmost thumbnail in the filmstrip at the top right of the page. When you click on a picture in this view, it zooms in to full size and lets you scroll around to see the details
