After Peace Corps training in San Francisco and Key West, we arrived in Liberia and had several more days "in country" training. We were then given our assignments.

Jinny Hesel and I were sent to Bushrod Island, a suburb of Monrovia, to our first house, a two family home found by our director who was sending PCV's to live closer to their schools. The landlord and his family lived on the other side, but had little to do with us.
