My first helicopter trip...

My roommate Naomi and I were headed down to Greenville, Liberia to help with a
new SIM project going on in the hospital there. Since it is normally a 12 hour drive to Greenville,
one bonus of having the United Nations in Liberia is that they offer free transport via for development
workers! So, I was able to experience my very first helicopter ride!

I was incredibly impressed at how smooth the ride was! I was a little nervous about getting motion sickness, but it wasn't even an issue.

This is the chopper we took on the way to Greenville.

Isn't that sweet!?

This is the view from inside the chopper. All of the supplies and luggage pieces are tied down in the center,
and the passengers sit on the side. This chopper held 20 people.
