Days 1,2 & 3


June 8th
Our adventure begins...

Jeff had an earlier fight than the rest of team. We all met up in Chicago with a few minutes to spare.
Flight from Chicago to London was a long night starting at 7:20 to 8am the next morning with not much sleep except for Kevin. (you will have to ask him about that)

June 9th
Arrived in London around 8am took the "Tube underground" to Piccadilly Circus". Spent the day walking and seeing the changing of the guard and the horse brigade, Big Ben we visited the original Red Lyon pub and ate fish n' chips, Westminister Abby and bridge over the River Thames, had ice cream and watched street performers on the river bank. Then we took the Tube back to the airport and mounted up for another overnighter.

We arrived in Kenya and connected to Dar es Salaam, Tazania after arriving we got all the luggage except for mine (Vicki). Then we took a 2 1/2 bus ride of our kives. We witnessed the aftermath of 5 wrecks on a thrill ride. We will take it again in 10 days. We then arrived at our Lutheran Language School set at the base of the mountains in a beautiful setting. The people are very nice food is great atmosphere is what you would expect in Africa. Such as exotic trees an foliage and architecture. We ate dinner and discussed the plan for the next week.
p.s. we prayed that I would get my luggage!

  1. I love modern technology. We are hanging on every word. So glad you made it safe and sound and hope all the luggage gets there soon. Have a blessed and productive time. Know we are keeping you in our prayers.

  2. Once you're over the jet-lag and get used to the wood smoke, you're all going to love Africa! God bless.
