Last Saturday Sarah and I returned from an amazing, much needed, 2 day, retreat to a beach side guest house, which even offered the luxury of hot showers, cold drinking water, and Air conditioning(amenities we take for grated in America). We spent our days in these lounge chairs, lounging all day long! Don't worry, we wore sunscreen. We enjoyed their fine Italian cuisine while viewing the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. Ahh, how romantic! Really if your interested in a getaway, this is a great place, you just have to come to Sierra Leone to get there! We only had one minor hiccup, when we came back from dinner one night the ceiling was leaking in our room because the water tank on the roof was over flowing! We reported the matter to the owner, but little did we know that he, being an Italian man, only speaks Italian and Krio. Consequently, our broken Krio wasn't enough to get the point across to him. We found another worker who does speak English and together we got the mess cleaned up right away! (It's moments like these that just make us laugh). In all seriousness, this is one of the only places we have found where we are really able to get away, it's quiet, there's no one there hassling us to buy something or asking us to marry them, it's great!
