Mark.... Time to update everyone on my progress here in Liberia.... (again there will be massive typos and english probs...i type in a hurry).... I will start by recapping this past week. Well basically i get up and not do anything. Are you jealous yet? But I am starting to get my self involved in the "community" a little more.

Hello Estados Unidos! I thought I would update everyone again. Sorry if my typing seems a bit erradic..i am in a hurry and this key pad sucks. The big news is that there is a problem with my hotel in Liberia. Apparently there was a miscommunication between the owner and his wife, the manager on my stay and who was paying and all that stuff. The good thing is that I am not having to pay for my hotel for what I have stayed so far. As a result the owner..my friend Luis called another resort Lodge called Guachapelin Lodge which [View Full Entry]

Maria is from [View Full Entry]
