In Sierra Leone (finally!)

Awkward typing on a European-style keyboard--a couple of differently placed keys as well as the left shift key being much smaller--\i end up hitting the \ key instead of \capitalizing... :)

 

The flight from London to Lungi Freetown airport was uneventful; only 40 minutes late.

Baggage claim was a wonder to behold; still, a much easier process with two people on the team than with 12.

 

Trying to get tired so I can fall asleep--need to be ready to leave in 7 hours.  We have a 30 minute drive to the ferry, one hour loading process, 90 minute cruise across the harbor to Freetown, another 30-60 minutes to get off the ferry, then about 4 1/2 hours to get to the city of Bo (110 miles).

 

Will stop just after the ferry landing to deliver a laptop computer to one of our older youth who is now attending a computer technician trade course in Freetown.

 

Weather is partly cloudy, about 79 degrees and 94% humidity (no kidding) -- keep up with that at http://www.timeanddate.com/weather/sierra-leone/freetown

 

Time to get some sleep (\i hope)

 

Thanks for checking in!

 

BTW, connectivity from here on out is unknown.  If you don't hear from me, it means I cannot get to the internet.

Will be home, barring delays, on Saturday, 6 Feb.

 

Peace.
