Where are the Bananas???

 I am not really sure because we didn't find them on Banana Island.:)  Today, we headed out to Banana Island for a charity walk.  It is a neighborhood right near Ikoyi.



 Well, Guy and I walked...Jeremy rode his scooter with his friends and Elizabeth rode in the wagon.:)







 Banana Island is another section of Ikoyi where there is major construction going on of new homes....yes...this is a new home being built ...
 Elizabeth wasn't too impressed by all the huge houses!!!
 Another home ...
 And there is continued construction of apartments.....the scaffolding always scares me a bit...
 And this house has a Rolls Royce parked in front...

 Walking through Banana Island drives home to me the gap between the wealthy and the poor in Nigeria...
 We did have a minor medic stop for Elizabeth's skinned knee after walking two feet.:) Don't worry...she was fine!:)
 And since Jeremy did so well riding his scooter for the 3 K walk...I promised him he could jump in the pool when we got back to the compound!:) 


It was great fun today for raising money for the many charities in Nigeria.:)
