We Congo to the river...

Common Pirogues used for transport and fishing.
A picnic?? Not exactly. These opportunists wait to sell sweets to workers needing respite from the backbreaking labor of hurling sand into the back of these trucks.
A view of Les Rapides, a more turbulent area of the river where fisherman in dugout canoes - Pirogues - search for sustenance.
The mighty fleuve, the Congo River provides sustenance for millions as it carries life laterally across the continent.
Tradin' licks at one of Emmanuel's regular restaurant gigs...He's rockin' believe me!
