Ahhh...I'm finally here!!!

Yes, oh...I'm in Sierra Leone and am loving it! The weather is great (the raining season hasn't exactly picked up yet), the people are great, life is just GREAT! I've been here for about 6 days now, lol, and things have really changed since I last visited in January of 2004. I think that there has been a lot of improvement but there is still so much more work to be done, so this government and the people of Sierra Leone have their work cut out for them.

This week went by fairly fast, but what can you I expect? They say when you are having fun time flies by! Hmmm....so far, I have gone to the clubs, specifically Old Skool and Paddy's and they were as fun as ever. Last night, I went to this spoken word event at Old Skool in their lounge area and it was pretty cool...that was my first time going to something like that. Afterwards, we headed to Plan B before returning back to Old Skool to party around 12:30am or something...oh but my night didn't end at Old Skool, after partying there we ended the night at Paddy, better known as Last Stop (LoL, no matter where you partied earlier in the evening, people always tend to end the night at Paddy's). I've also gone out to a few restaurants or eateries that I have heard about from other folks who frequent or recently visited SL. One place I hit up for breakfast was Crown Bakery (or Factory??? I can't remember), I ordered pancakes, a croissant, and a smoothie...Frankly, I am sorry to say but everything was disgusting to me...sorry! That place might be a bit overrated...Tomorrow evening I plan on going to Country Lodge for dinner, so that should be interesting.

Anyway, I have to run...but please do check for updates!!!
