Present location: Freetown, Sierra Leone.

All went smoothly and we arrived safely.
Our bags are slowly unpacked. Our bodies getting used to the prickles of the tropical heat.
Well, at least for me the weather has been good.
The scene is welcomingly different and sometimes difficult to understand.
But mostly pleasant.
Only pictures will speak a lot more than my mere choice of random words.
The streets are always crowded, peddlars of all ages and kinds. Name it, you'll find it.
People have been kind, generous and amazingly helpful.
God bless their soul.
Our house is not great but not too bad.
And we badly need the car to arrive soon on top of the fact that I need to learn how to drive.
Which I will, despite internal morbid fears. I shall prevail, so I think.
Work is coming soon, for both of us. Him sooner, me hopefully soon enough.
I didn't come here to laze about. I came here with a purpose.
In all, we are well. Good. Slowly and surely absorbing, tasting and indulging in every detail we see, hear, touch and smell. Our insights will be enriched, our lives possibly changed.
You will see in time.

ps: pictures will come soon enough. I hope you remain patient.
