The team is now together

This morning (at 7am local time), Judy, Stacee, Lisa, Kathe and I found Carol, Nancy and a host of others outside the Senegal airport terminal - as planned. This ended a long day of travel, and travel delays, which began around 6am Chicago time (noon local in Senegal). The leg to NY was uneventful until we were at JFK - when it took 35 minutes of waiting to get off the plane. With about 45 minutes until boarding for Senegal, we snagged lunch as we could. The leg to Dakar was only 6 1/2 hours - but we left 30 minutes late because the plane had a flat tire. Another hour in passport control and we made it out with our luggage intact. Some of us felt like zombies by that time.

We napped and then had breakfast this morning at the Nord Foire church. Shopping followed, from which I eventally opted-out and returned to our rooms to nap again. Later, we will go to Kittie and Paul's home for dinner.

Tomorrow we will travel to the Grand Yoff church in Dakar for Sunday worship.

The weather is sunny and in the mid-70s.

Time for my second nap.
