Africa- Mercy Ship

Extracting teeth, no big deal

Finally!!!

After a very long airplane ride, finally arrived in Freetown, Sierra Leone.  I was very excited to see the Mercy Ship personnel that was going to get me to the ship.  After walking through a crowd of people at the gate of the airport, I took a bus down to the bay and jumped on a dinky little boat.  With no lights, we drove about 45 minutes across the bay (apparently the driver was using the moonlight to get across the bay) and arrived to the ship.  I finally felt like I could breathe for the first time since the last 3 days.  The staff on the ship was very friendly and even baked me cookies when I arrived. 

As for the temperature, it is going to take some time to getting use to....

London!!!

Just arrived in London for my transfer flight to Sierra Leone, have a 19 hours layover wait.  Very tired from preparation and flight.  So far, everything is going smoothly except for everything being so expensive in England (current currency rate, 1dollar is worth 60 cents here), since William and Kate are getting married this weekend, everyone is in town!  Hitting the sack, and will be in Africa tomorrow.
