Adventure in Training
Fortunately we arrived safely in Freetown, Sierra Leone.
Unfortunately we were very tired and hungry.
Fortunately the Peace Corp had food ready for us to eat.
Unfortunately we were unprepared for the hot spicy food.
Fortunately there was lots of water to drink.
Unfortunately we didn’t speak the language.
Fortunately there were language trainers to teach us.
Unfortunately I was a slow learner.
Fortunately we had lots of practice.
Unfortunately the culture was foreign to us.
Fortunately we were introduced to many cultural experiences.
Unfortunately it was very hot and humid.
Fortunately there were showers
Unfortunately the plumbing was precarious.
Fortunately it still worked.
Unfortunately the shower head came off and the water squirted everywhere.
Fortunately I could call for help.
Unfortunately I forgot I was not dressed and help was a guy!
Fortunately he stopped the flow of water.
Fortunately I had a towel.
Fortunately I never saw the guy again.
