Saturday night in Ndende Jim decided on boa for dinner.   Monkeys and parrots are among many other things for sale beside the roads in Africa. Fresh game for dinner perhaps?   Another view of the Gabon jungle Slender, towering trees are common throughout the tropical forest.   Schweitzer's hospital still functions today - with a malaria focus vs. the original leprosy one. Schweitzer's 'revelation' to help mankind   Graves behind the former home of Dr. Albert Schweitzer include his own.   PAIGE'S NOTES   20 May 2000 - Arrived in Ndende to learn Congo border is closed - several Congo ambassadors had said we could drive straight on to Pointe Noire from Ndende. Even Gabon's Minister of Tourism did not know the border was closed as he assured us of passage to Point Noire via Ndende. Now I remember back in Ndjole when a Ghanaian truck driver told us to look for new military roads in order to cross the border.
