A little over a week ago I boarded a plane, after a 2 hour delay mind you, and began sweating. The plane was full to capacity I had a middle seat and the AC wasn't running because the engines hadn't been turned on. That's when the sweating began. And with the exception of the slight reprieve on the airplane after the AC kicked on, the sweating hasn't stopped. It is indeed hot here in Guinea-Bissau, Africa. Being here has more than sweat swimming around in my mind. It's strange to be blogging about it, but I find it's the easiest way to communicate since the internet is so slow I can't get Gmail to even load. I had some stomach problems since I landed so I'm a little off physically, which for those that know me puts me off mentally. (mom, if you read this don't worry -I'm fine)
Right now we're talking with Zacharias, from Sierra Leone, who says the film blood diamond is spot on. I passed through 3 countries to get to Guinea-Bissau, and the experience is much what you might expect and so much more.
I don't think I'm going to share too many stories as I'd like to keep those for a live telling. There are many layers to what i'm experiencing and some are somewhat difficult to process. All in all it's been a crazy eye opening adventure.
More later......................peace from Gabu, Guniea-Bissau.
