Well, I'm actually "Ad Lib". And it's crazy. Mustafa and I landed an hour and a half ago to muggy weather and darkness - even though it was only 7:30 at night. I'm thinking because we're so much closer to the equator there won't be the "long summer days" effect here. It's so good to be here after all the flight crazyness - there were a few points in there where it was truly questionable on whether we'd get here today (and the next flight doesn't come in till Tuesday). Here's a pic Mustafa took of me as we were disembarking; the lens fogged up immediately, so it wasn't QUITE that hazy out, but we were told that we weren't supposed to take pictures of the plane (oops! busted!) so this is as good as it gets for tonight!
We were picked up by James, a Liberian who works for OIC (one of Shelter's partner organizations for this project). He drove us to our hotel and answered tons of silly outsider questions on the hour drive into Monrovia. We could see the buildings that have generators to light them - so basically the nicer places - and it was fun to get a quick outside overview of the place. There will be tons to learn and see!
