Liberia: Dwellings

There were all sorts of dwellings that people lived in in Liberia. Some lived on the river in shacks. I am not sure what happens in the rainy season when the river rises. Some people squat in shells of buildings left over from before the 14-year civil war. Some places don't look to bad at all. This was very common to see in the country side. Housed made out of woven reeds. I imagine it is not that great in the rain. Occasionally you would see a fancy villa from a distance. Or a uninhabited structure that looked newly built. These places in the country looked like nice surroundings, but no water, electricity or sewage. Another newer looking development. More thatched walls. A bit windy in this one. I think this one might double as a shop.
