My first day




Sunset from the Kimbima Hotel


My first day was really fun. I realize now what Chelsea means about it being slow here. It's not that everyone is slow its just that everything just logistically takes longer. On that note, we didn't get everything done that we meant to (no lapa yet and I haven't seen Chels's apt), but I got to see a lot of the city. I like it here. I'm so Glad that I'm staying for a while. Some of you will be glad to hear that I confirmed my airline ticket in Freetown today, so I have to return on the 25th whether I like it or not. I won't have internet access for the next week. We're going to Tiama to run the clinic, the peanut butter project, a construction project and to work on the community farm. I'll post on the 11th or 12th.

You're there and safe... I was never worried :) And if you care to know, I wouldn't mind if you had to stay a couple more months, because I won't be seeing you anyways, but I'm sure your friends and family here will be anxiously awaiting your return! Stay safe and have fun!!

Hey Thither!!! I'm glad you're okay and having a GREAT time. I'm also glad you have to come home when planned cause if you didn't then Dad and I would be the ones suffering for it and having to hear about it, not you. LOL! Have a good time and stay safe. Can't wait to hear all about it sometime in February when I get to see you. *High Flippers*
