Our home in Freetown


Since the university didn't offer a place to stay for Tucker when we first arrived, he arranged alternative accommodation with his friends in town. Tucker stayed with Taziff and his family for a couple of nights and then moved to Alie's as soon as I arrived, Taziff's place being too cramped already.

Alie's house, still under construction, is in the Texaco junction area, a long ways east of downtown. We're just behind the buzzing Central lorry park (bus terminal to most destinations throughout the country), but one would never guess so: with views to the open sea, surrounded by trees, unpaved paths (can't really call them streets), birds singing, sea breeze, the sound of the tide moving in and out... can't ask for a better place to stay in such a big city.

We don't have running water or electricity, except for the occasional generator time we use to charge up our laptops.
