meetings are done!
and most of the team is leaving soon or has already left. i'll be in a meeting with the regional director and the sierra leone intern in an hour and a half. i might try to get out a bit before that time and explore some but otherwise, i have tomorrow to "shop" and sightsee. kermit will have a photo shoot on gory island tomorrow and we'll do some shopping.
melissa and i will then leave sunday midday for freetown and "upcountry". i believe that we will be out of internet range for the duration of next week - so have no fear if you don't hear from me. in fact i may not even post tomorrow night because of internet availability... so don't plan on it!
i've been learning so much, and loving the interaction with the staff here. it's been indeed very good to put faces with names with projects and programs.
i am fully recovered from my respiratory/bronchial problems i was having the last couple of weeks in GR, but i had a bout of food poisoning wednesday night into thursday. funny too, because i ate the same ham and cheese omelette wednesday as i did on tuesday... but it tasted a bit off and seemed a bit undercooked. so maybe that was it. after a couple of violent episodes of vomiting in the night that destroyed the toilet-room and some diareahha (hey, we've all been overseas, it's ok to talk about bodily functions, right?) on thursday, and lots of sleep (like hardly moving before 3pm) thursday and last night, i'm back to normal. or at least as normal as i've ever been!
salaam one and all! see you lay-ta!

Hope your day of sight seeing etc. went well.
matt and I went to the Porkies today and had loads of fun.
Wish you could have been here, the weather was perfect, the snow was perfect, the view out over Lake Superior was phenomenal. I took some pictures, if any of them are any good maybe I will post them later.
And we rented helmets... I think I might buy one.
