Sierra Leone

We made it to our more permanent housing for our time here.  We are at a university that has like a guest house/hotel.  Pretty nice for Africa standards.  Our journey to this point went pretty well,  we made all of our connections but arriving in Sierra Leone reminded me all about Being in a small African airport, hot, smelly, long lines, crowded, and a little chaotic.  There were extra precautions taken for the Ebola issue so we had to wait to have our temp taken.  We had to take a boat across the bay, the motors were not working very well so it took a lot longer to get to the other side which is Freetown.  As we travel the roads,  we are constantly having our temps checked at checkpoints.  There are very few new cases but it is good to see extra things being done to keep it under control.  Many places have chlorinated water to wash you hands in too.  After a late dinner it was nice to get a good nights sleep and start to feel a little less sleep deprived.  We drove about 4 hours this morning to the University and then We had lunch and then drove to the village where we will be helping Let them LOL with their property.  Sorry I don't know all the town names I will report them to you as I learn and remember.  The roads most are pretty rough but similar to some roads I have experienced on other trips.  We started to lay out the area for the barn and we got the drill rig unloaded.  That may sound easy but here it takes a lot longer.  The location for the barn is not very level so we figured out how much dirt needs to be dug out to be level.  The guys will start shoveling tomorrow no backhoes!
The one corner is 3' higher than the rest.
Well that gets you caught up to now.  More to come stay tuned
