Arrival

We made it! We are all here, in Dakar, Senegal. We arrived at approximately 9:40pm WAT (3:40pm CST) on December the 31st, 2006. The surprisingly good news is that we have once again been blessed to make it here with all of our baggage. We haven't even had any mishaps of any sort thus far...save when I almost lost my boarding pass for the first flight.... Regardless, we are here now, and very excited about the work that we will be doing. We have learned from Babacar that we will have the opportunity to do many different things while we are here this year. I will keep you updated more on what those happen to be as our trip progresses. We have just now settled into the guest house that we will be staying at for some portions of our trip. We also just finished celebrating New Year's with some fireworks. It was excellently exciting. We are all dead tired. I think we will be going to bed soon. This guest house is quite large. The guys are staying in the first floor, while the girls are staying in the upstairs. I know that we are definitely very ready to just relax for a while and catch up on some sleep. Traveling this far has drained us all. So, I leave you all in your American eveningtime...so that I may find some rest. God bless you all, and thanks for your thoughts and prayers as we work here in Senegal.
