Back again, huh? I am. I'm apparently masochistic, obvious through the fact that I continue to stay where I am at. How about you? Do you go through life dealing with situations that you swear "this is the last time...."? We're back in Conakry, the divine city of open sewers, government-controlled radio stations, and all the muffler fumes you can choke on. I know this has been done already, but I'm going to have to complain about the ride down a bit. You see, we went into the center of our village yesterday morning at about 7:30am and said we wanted to go to Conakry (Menen falla yahude ka Conakry.) We were directed to a car, a nice Peugeot 505, a newer model. Much pleased we went over and asked if the car was going to Conakry. Yes. Conakry, direct? Yes. Do you have places? Yes. Do you have passengers? Well..... Yes, but we're going to go to Hafia to catch more passengers. Then to Labe if we have to. Now, Labe is well out of our way. In fact, it's ...

I'm home. Tired as can be though so I'll post something like a summary tomorrow (technically today). The added bonus will be a full review of Chicken Little. Goodnight.

Ah this feels like my shortest trip to CO ever. I feel as though I've barely been here at all. It's been non-stop business - but mostly in a good way.

Getting to the car rental place to find that they didn't have any actual cars just SUVs Minivans and other large vehicles.. and no discounts for not having smaller vehicles (even if reserved) and they had no record that my car was pre-paid so I called the usual car service (thanks Lee, you saved me). Getting to the hotel and they didn't have my reservation (but took very good care of me anyway because the people I was here to see have a fantastic reputation).

Well, I'm running a tad late.. but I'm off to the airport.. Colorado here I come.. can't wait. Before I go though.. I needed to be self-centered and show off my "investment".. here's the new cut with the highlights/lowlights, etc. I'm dragging my laptop with me (it is sooo heavy) so that I can take care of work emergencies while away (can only use my laptop for remote VPN access) so I'll post again tonight when I'm settled in my hotel room. I'm still working on getting around to posting the Wilma video.. I must remove the audio track :) Bye..
