Just wanted to give a quick update to let you know that Jenny and I are back safe and sound. We had about 18 hours of flight time with an 8 hour layover in Amsterdam. We didn't sleep much, but thanks to modern technology, were entertained by several movies to bide the time. I definitely watched some movies that I normally wouldn't....but when you have all of that time, you resort to any kind of entertainment possible! ("The Little Mermaid", for example)
I won't reveal who....but someone on our flight, a grown-woman, watched "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". Hopefully that detail well describes the desperation we felt towards being distracted from the fact that we had hours to go until we would be home!
We were met at the airport by some of our close friends and went to dinner immediately afterwards. Jenny and I talked a lot about how much we missed Mexican food while we were gone, so we went to El Porton. Being that it was 2 a.m. Tanzania time, I opted out of the taco-fest had by all. Nevertheless, it was wonderful to be with people who know us well and were committed to following our trip and praying for our efforts, as well.
We are blessed.
Thanks again to each of you....
