Ken picked Jan and I up Thursday right after lunch. We drove to Cedar Rapids, met Russ, our other trip partner, was sent off by Chuck and Marsha, who went last year, and left right at sunset.
We flew all night. Here is a picture above the clouds of the sun rising over Europe. We landed in Holland and spent the day at the Amsterdam airport.
We left Amsterdam and flew again the following night. This is a sunrise coming up over Africa. We landed the following morning in Nairobi.
In Africa you sometimes walk outside to board a plane. So after two sleepless nights we boarded a plane and headed for Lilongwe in Malawi.
Here we are after going through customs, talking to a cab driver about getting 8 bags and 4 people in his tiny car. Ken negotiated a fare before we left.
After such a load you can imagine what happened. We had a blowout. So out comes all the luggage in the middle of a busy road so we can find a spare.
Reaching our destination and seeing family at the African Bible College made the long trip worthwhile.
