Total whirlwind last week in Monrovia. First I got documents (yay!). Although it was totally last minute, this turned out to be a real success. The majority of what they have here is deeds and wills because of land rights disputes, but I’m sure that will be useful somehow. I apparently looked at the only documents they have from my time period – the rest were destroyed in the war or exist in the US. Looks like I’ll be spending lots of time in Indiana, Massachusetts, Chicago, and DC in the spring.
Then yesterday I went to confirm my flights and found out they were rescheduled to Monday so I’m not spending next week in Sierra Leone, but back in England. And since I’m leaving sooner than expected, I’m having my leaving party tonight at the Living Room – Monrovia’s best sushi restaurant/lounge. I can’t believe how long I’ve been away. Freetown seems like ages ago; the conference at Hull was only 2 months ago!
Anyway, since I’ll obviously be missing warm weather, the sun, beaches, good music, and cheap beer, I thought I’d list some things I am looking forward to about being back in the UK and US:
Jeans
Refrigerator
Cooking/baking
Fast internet connection
Running
Real coffee and Milk (not powdered creamer)
Thanksgiving
Christmas music
Sweaters
Family and Friends!!
