Greetings from Ethiopia! Day/Night (who knows anymore) #1
Hello from the beautiful Addis Ababa, Ethiopia!
Team #2 has safely landed in Ethiopia and are waiting to complete the final leg of the trip to Entebbe Uganda. The first leg was a 9 hour flight to Rome, where we were able to fly over the Alps and see an absolutely amazing view of the mountains. After a 1 hour refueling in Rome, we landed in Addis Ababa 6 hours later. No one is really certain as to what time there body is telling them the time is, however, the small numbers on the bottom right hand side of this computer read 1:30 a.m.
11 of the team members made it to the Hilton hotel, while Jen and Marie stayed at the Ethiopian airport in search of Marie's lost cushion. Fortunately, the cushion turned up in no time and Jen and Marie got invited into a the first class lounge, "Cloud Nine." The "Hilton Package" consisted of a packed van ride to and from the hotel, (where our driver believed he had the right away in every situation), the weaving in and out of nearby cars and constant honking at other drivers, a 10:30 pm buffet and the quickest stay we've ever experienced in a hotel room (2 hours). But that 2 hours on a soft bed and our bodies in a complete horizontal position, was well worth it. Some of us younger ones have more trouble falling asleep sitting in an upright position (eh em....Pastor Dave (dad) :). I think Jen and Marie lucked out with their luxurious Cloud Nine experience. Nevertheless, the trip has thus far been great and we are all very excited to see our Ugandan family. This international dial-up couldn't be better! we will stay in touch and hopefully blog once in Uganda. Your thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated! God Bless!
