why mosquitoes suck:

Because my room didn't come with a mosquito net, so I had to put up my own, but there was nothing to hang it on, so through a combination of band aids and suction cups (from my washing line) I managed to finagle something. Which then proceeded to fall down on me in the middle of the night and which I subsequently wrapped myself in. Fun. And totally ineffective at repelling the nasty buggers. I managed to escape Freetown without a single mosquito bite. Didn't even manage my first 24 hours here!

Also, I lost/misplaced the key to the lock I so cleverly put on my luggage....

On the plus side, I went to a restaurant called Golden Beach last night with some very cool people and had Club Beer and samosas. Yum! It's this gorgeous restaurant with tables on the sand and palm trees overhead and the ocean and sunset right there in front of you (imagine getting a really good spot at ocean city and then having palm shade and food served to you right there). Unfortunately to get down to the restaurant from Tubman Blvd I had to walk between a pet monkey on an unexpectedly long leash and a pet monkey (no leash) playing with a dog. ewww.
