Freetown is Amazing!

            We FINALLY made it to Sierra Leone. The sail was two weeks, but, to be honest, it wasn’t too bad. When we got here there was a small party for us on the dock. We got to dress up in fancy clothes. It is a really poor place, so we were very excited to get started!

            One of the first things we did here was my parents and I went for a walk and ended up in a market. The market was selling a lot of fish, coffee beans, bread and candy. We bought bread and candy. Markets in Africa are very crowded and noisy. There were cars that came through the market and one of them nearly ran over my foot.

Anther thing that we did was go to a beach, Laka beach. It was beautiful. The ocean was lovely and the restaurants were amazing. The beaches in Sierra Leone are excellent.

            We also went to the team house. The team house is a place were the advance team lives. The advance team is a team that goes to the place that we are going to go in advance to get the place ready for our arrival. It is a very nice place there. They have a pool, too. The pool is a nice size and shape. Right next to the pool was  a babies slide,  we put it on to the pool side and slid in! 

            I really like it here in Sierra Leone!

                                    By for now,
